Looking for a quick, ready to serve salad recipe?

Well, we've got you covered!

Introducing...

Crunchy Tuna Salad in Pepper Cups

Each salad cup can sit on its own and can easily be transferred to a serving platter. No portioning required!

Tips

• To peel tomatoes, blanch ripe tomatoes in a pot of boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, depending on ripeness (less ripe will need longer). Using a slotted spoon, transfer tomatoes to a bowl of ice water and let stand until chilled. Drain. Using a paring knife, cut out core and peel off skins.
• Tuna is an economical source of protein and, like salmon and other cold water fish as it contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Makes: 4 servings

Cooking time: Not applicable

Ingredients

• 2  large, nicely shaped green bell peppers 
• ¼ cup  light mayonnaise  
• ¼ cup  plain yogurt  
• ½ tsp  grated lemon zest  
• 1 tbsp  freshly squeezed lemon juice  
• 1/8 tsp  salt  
• Pinch  freshly ground black pepper  
• 2  tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped  
• 1  can (6 oz/170 g) water-packed flaked tuna, drained  
• 1 cup  coarsely chopped iceberg lettuce  
• ¼ cup  sliced green onions  
• 4  crisp lettuce leaves  

Instructions

1. Cut green peppers in half crosswise to form shells; carefully remove core and seeds. 
2. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add peppers, cut side up. Cover and boil for 3 minutes or until tender-crisp. 
3. Using a slotted spoon, remove peppers and turn upside down to drain. Refrigerate until ready to use.
4. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes, tuna, chopped lettuce and green onions; fold gently to coat.
