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.
