Easy Lunch Idea: Tuna Stuffed Pepper

With back to school season now in our midst, it's time to start thinking about really simple lunch ideas. Whether you have kids going to school, or you are a student attending post-secondary, you need quick, easy, and inexpensive recipes to get you through the fall. When I was a kid, tuna salad was one of my favorite lunches and I still make it often today. Instead of using bread, I've loaded it into a red bell pepper for added nutritional value and crunch.

Gluten-free, if using a GF mustard

Ingredients
1 bell pepper
1 single serving tin of tuna packed in olive oil
1 tsp capers
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp. finely diced cucumber

Slice the pepper in half and set aside. Mix all the salad ingredients together and spoon into the pepper. Seal up in a container for lunch the next day, or eat it right away.
