Creamy Tuna Melts

4 whole wheat English muffins
2 celery ribs (about 1/2 cup diced)
1 pouch (7 oz) light tuna (packed in foil pouch--no draining required)
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayo
Juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1 T)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 slices ripe tomato (about 2 large tomatoes)
4 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
Turn on broiler.  Split and then toast English muffins until lightly browned; set aside. 
Rinse and dice celery.  Place in medium microwave safe bowl.  Add the tuna, cottage cheese, mayo, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper.  Stir, then microwave, covered with a paper towel, until just warm (about 1 minute).  Spoon tuna mixture on top of toasted muffins.  Place one tomato slice and half a slice of cheese on top of the tuna mixture.  Broil just until the cheese melts; about 1 minute.  Serve with sliced apples.
