Bell Peppers Stuffed with Tuna Salad Recipe
3 6-ounce cans of chunk white tuna
3/4 cup shredded carrots
3/4 cup corn, canned or fresh
6 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 cups baby spinach leaves
3 bell peppers, 1 red, 1 yellow, and 1 green
1 medium cucumber
12 cherry tomatoes
Slice cucumbers, cut cherry tomatoes in half and cut bell peppers in half crosswise and remove seeds. In a large mixing bowl combine tuna, carrots and corn, and toss in the mayonnaise. Spread the spinach leaves evenly on 4-6 small salad plates. Place the bell pepper half on top of the spinach and fill it up with the tuna and vegetable mixture, top with the cucumber and cherry tomato halves.
Cooking Notes: A wonderful variation here is cutting the bell peppers into wide strips and using the tuna salad as a dip.

This looks so good. I like to have cold type salad with some meals. This will be perfect.
This looks good! You really load your tuna salad for sure! I think it would be very colorful your way but for hubby a bit tough to have with dentures :/I would modify ot a bit, and I bet it would work just fine. Those bell peppers look good.
These look so good it made my mouth water just reading this post. I have to try this recipe and check out this book. I am always trying to find ways to cut out bread as much as possible.
