Ingredients

  • 2 large lemons, washed and pat dry
  • 1 can yellowfin or albacore tuna in water, drained (184 g/6 oz)
  • 4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon roasted red peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Miracle Whip
  • 1/2 tablespoon dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika, or to taste
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or to taste
  • ground Himalayan pink salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)

How To Make tuna stuffed lemons

  • Step 1
    Thinly slice the bottom of the lemons off to make them sit upright. Cut the tops off to make little caps.
  • Step 2
    Empty the inside of the lemons. Discard the flesh and reserve the juice for later.
  • Step 3
    In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, cream cheese, roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, dill, and hot paprika.
  • Step 4
    Stir very well to blend before adding lemon juice, a little at a time, until desired taste; season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    Evenly divide the mixture between the two prepared lemons and fill them up. Place the caps on and serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
  • Step 6
