Tuna Salad Pepper Cups Recipes

TUNA SALAD PEPPER CUPS

Steps:

• Cut green peppers in half lengthwise; remove seeds and membranes. In a bowl, combine tuna, cucumber, onions, mayonnaise and relish. Spoon into pepper cups. Serve immediately.

KETO TUNA SALAD CUPS

Steps:

• Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
• Double-up the lettuce leaves and fill each with some tuna salad. Tuck in a tomato slice. Sprinkle with reserved scallions, bacon and egg.

CRISPY WONTON CUPS WITH TUNA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup mini muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place 1 wonton wrapper into each cup. Press the wontons into the cups with your fingers and spray each wrapper with cooking spray. Bake until they are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Slice 1/2-inch thick slice from the onion and cut into thirds (reserve the remaining onion for Round 2 Recipe Nicoise Salad with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette and the Online Round 2 Recipe Ham and Cheese Breakfast Burrito). Into the bowl of a mini food processor, add the onion, ginger, brown mustard, red wine vinegar, crushed red pepper, canola oil, salt, and pepper, and pulse until combined. (If you do not have a mini food processor, finely chop the onion and ginger and whisk together with mustard, vinegar, oil and red pepper flakes.) Place into a bowl with the tuna. Thinly slice 1/2 cup of the snow peas (reserve remaining 1 cup snow peas for Round 2 Recipe Nicoise Salad with Lemon Garlic Vinaigrette) and stir to combine.
• Fill each wonton cup with the tuna salad, transfer to a serving platter, and serve immediately.

TUNA SALAD SALAD

Steps:

• Mix the first three ingredients and set aside OR stop there and eat as is or use for tuna sandwich, tuna melt, etc.
• Divide the lettuce between two plates; dress with oil and vinegar, salt and pepper.
• Pack the tuna mixture into a 1-cup measure and turn out onto the middle of one of the plates of lettuce; repeat.
• Place the egg quarters, hearts of palm slices, and chopped red bell pepper around the tuna; if desired, garnish the top of the tuna with three pieces of red bell pepper.
• I like to crack fresh ground pepper over all at this point.
