Keyword: bell peppers, easy dinner, keto, low carb, tuna
Servings: 2pepper halves
Ingredients
1small bell pepper(any color)
15ozcan light tuna
2tbspdiced celery
1-2tbspmayonnaise
1/4tspgarlic powder
1pinchground black pepper
2slices provolone or cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut the bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place them cut side up in a small baking dish. You may need to use some bunched up foil to prop them up if your pepper halves are wonky in shape.
In a small bowl, mix together the tuna, mayo, celery and preferred seasoning. I usually just sprinkle with black pepper and garlic powder, but you could also add onion powder or dill.
Top each one with a slice (or two) of cheese. You can also use shredded cheese if that's what you have on hand.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese if fully melted and browned to your liking.
Notes
Red onion and dijon mustard are also common ingredients for a tuna salad, but I personally don't care for either. Feel free to customize to your liking!
