Notes from Chef: Storing leftovers
The mixture for tuna melts is super easy to store and use later. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It is so nice to have it all prepared and ready to go.
For Tuna Salad: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
For Tuna Melt: Your prepared tuna melt will stay good for a day or two either wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. Keep in mind, the bread may begin to get soggy as it sits.
