Description
Delicious and healthy tuna salad stuffed into dill pickles for a satisfying snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 whole dill pickles
- 5 oz chunk white tuna
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1 tsp honey (or sugar)
Instructions
- Cut whole pickles in half from end to end, lengthwise. Using a small melon scoop, spoon, or paring knife, cut or scrape out the inside of each side of the pickle to create a boat shape with the remaining pickle skin.
- Chop up the scraped-out insides and place them in a mixing bowl. Using a paper towel, soak up any extra juices from the pickle boats and chopped inside pieces.
- Thoroughly drain the tuna and add to the bowl. Press with a fork to chop up large chunks.
- Add mayonnaise, red onion, chopped pickle, and sugar or honey (optional) and mix well to form the tuna salad.
- Spoon tuna salad into each pickle boat. Chill and serve or serve immediately.
Notes
Make sure to drain the tuna well to avoid a watery filling, and enjoy with sides like potato chips or salad.
