Combine cabbage and onion in a bowl. Set aside.

Tuna Melt Prep
Preheat oven to broil. Toast 2 slices of sourdough bread. Add tuna to a bowl. Use a fork to break tuna apart. Add 1 T. vinegar, 1 T. soy sauce and 2 t. old bay. This is just a starting point. Mix well and be sure to adjust ingredients to taste. Add a small amount of mayonnaise as needed. Once desired flavor is achieved, add 2 T diced pickles and 2 T roasted red peppers diced. Again, adjust these to your desired taste. Spread a small amount of olive oil on each slice of toasted bread and top each with tuna mixture. Cover amply with slices of smoked provolone cheese and broil until cheese begins to brown. Serve with Slaw and enjoy.
