The end result. So tasty! |
I'm always looking for ways to sneak more multicolored veggies into my meals. And, I love tuna. This healthy bell pepper tuna melt is perfect! Low in calories, a lot of veggies, and tastes great too! Adapted from Snack Girl.
Ingredients
5oz can tuna, water-packed, drained
1 tablespoon light mayo
1 sweet pickle, chopped (you can leave this out if you don't like pickles in your tuna...but trust me it's good)
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 baby carrots, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 red bell pepper
2 tablespoons sharp cheddar (shredded)
salt and pepper (to taste)
1 red bell pepper
2 tablespoons sharp cheddar (shredded)
salt and pepper (to taste)
Ingredients
- Mix tuna, mayo, pickle, celery, carrots, onion in small bowl.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice bell pepper in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and core.
- Spoon tuna mix into bell peppers (split between 2 halves).
- Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar per pepper half
- Broil on high for ~5 minutes.
- Enjoy! These are fabulous!
One serving is the whole batch. So, only 322 calories for the whole thing. Yummy! |

This sounds and looks great! I'm going to give it a try. I love tuna melts but never thought of using red pepper as the bread. What a great idea, and I love red peppers.
