I’ve come to love tuna dressed up in a vinaigrette rather than laden down with mayo. This is a sandwich that’s much more exciting than it looks.
Combine the tuna, pesto, vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper in a small bowl; mix well.
Spread a little Dijon mustard (to your liking) on one slice of bread (or both). Top with a few spinach leaves, half of the goat cheese, and half of the tuna mixture. Place another slice of bread on top and repeat with the other sandwich.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, tilt the pan around to spread the butter. Lay sandwiches in the skillet and put a lid on the pan. Turn heat down to medium-low and cook for 3-4 minutes or until bread turns golden brown and the filling becomes warm. Remove sandwiches from the pan, place remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter in the skillet and cook the other sides of the sandwiches, covered, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and the filling is hot.
Remove from pan, slice in half (like your mom did – I always slice it into rectangles because she did), and serve.
Makes 2 sandwiches.
Notes:
1. If you wanted it more “melty”, try using a different type of cheese. I bet gouda, gruyere, or Swiss would be good, too.

I loved this!! I’m out of pine nuts so I just soaked the sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water, drained, and mixed them right in. I had feta in the fridge so used it instead of goat cheese. Don’t know why we ever used mayo – this is so much better!
