Every since I could chew I’ve loved peppers. My parent’s had a garden in our backyard and one huge section was dedicated to just peppers from sweet to hot they grew them. I use to eat my ham and cheese sandwiches with green pepper strips on the side, not chips. I still love peppers to this day. I could just eat them plain. I’m a huge veggie eater and we always have peppers in our home.
Lately I’ve been trying to eat more fish. My mom used to make a pasta salad with peppers, onions, tuna, elbow noodles, and mayonnaise. As much as I love eating that I don’t like how I felt after eating it. Mayo, pasta.. So instead I chose to leave those two ingredients out, and still enjoy my mother’s salad – and that’s where Tuna Pepper Salad takes form.

Start by washing the peppers. Chop peppers and onions and set aside.
Open and drain the water from the tuna. Use a fork to mash tuna.

Mix it all up – enjoy on flat breads, crackers,
or you could just it on it’s own because it’s that good.

September 19, 2011 at 1:07 pmPeppers add the right amount of “kick” to just about anything. Even though I don’t like Tuna but the I think I’d try this substituting Chunk White Chicken instead.

October 5, 2011 at 6:55 pmI love that this is made with yogurt and no mayo. Every tuna salad I have seen has had mayo and I can’t stand it. Will have to try this one.
