In a medium bowl, stir together minced celery, onion, red pepper, salt, pepper, and tuna. Fold in the mayo last.
Spread out English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Add half a slice of Swiss cheese to the bottom of each muffin. Top each muffin with about 2 tablespoons of tuna salad mix. Top with the second half of cheese.
Bake the tuna melts for 12 to 15 minutes until muffins are browned around the edges and the cheese is melted.
Serve while warm with pickled veggies on the side, and enjoy!
