Ingredients

2 bell peppers (halved and cored)
2 4.5-ounce StarKist Solid Yellowfin Tuna (in Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
2 celery stalks (minced)
4 green onions (sliced (greens and whites separated))

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt

Add the tuna on top, along with the celery and most of the green onions (leaving some for garnish). Gently stir until well combined.
Scoop the tuna salad into the crevice of the four baked pepper halves and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top. Return the peppers to the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 more minutes.
