Ingredients
  

Tuna Salad

  • 11 ounces tuna
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup celery
  • 2 tablespoons red onion
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme

Stuffed Peppers

  • 2 bell peppers
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Mix up the tuna salad ingredients until well combined, then set aside while the oven preheats to 425 degrees F.
  • Slice peppers in half from the top, and clean out all of the seeds. Roast at 425 degrees F until peppers are tender (20 minutes was perfect for me).
  • Scoop about 1/3 cup of tuna salad into each roasted pepper half. Top with a slice of cheese, then place the baking sheet back into the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
