Ingredients For tuna stuffed lemons

  • 2 lg
    lemons, washed and pat dry
  • 1 can
    yellowfin or albacore tuna in water, drained (184 g/6 oz)
  • 4 oz
    light cream cheese, softened
  • 1 Tbsp
    roasted red peppers, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp
    mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp
    Miracle Whip
  • 1/2 Tbsp
    dill, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp
    hot paprika, or to taste
  • 1 to 2 tsp
    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

  • 1
    Thinly slice the bottom of the lemons off to make them sit upright. Cut the tops off to make little caps.
  • 2
    Empty the inside of the lemons. Discard the flesh and reserve the juice for later.
  • 3
    In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna, cream cheese, roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, dill, and hot paprika.
  • 4
    Stir very well to blend before adding lemon juice, a little at a time, until desired taste; season with salt and pepper.
  • 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.
