These Low-Carb Tuna Melt Bell Peppers are loaded with protein-packed tuna, creamy Greek yogurt, and melted cheese — all nestled in sweet, crunchy bell pepper halves instead of bread. It’s a satisfying, low-carb meal that delivers big on flavor, supports heart health, and keeps you full without the carb crash.

Ingredients

  • 260 grams corned tuna
  • 2 pcs bell peppers, halved and cored
  • 2 pcs celery stalks, minced
  • 4 pcs green onions, sliced (greens and whites separated)
  • 1/3 cup greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the bell pepper halves in an oven-safe baking dish and bake until the peppers soften, about 15 minutes.
  2. 2
    In a mixing bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper until well combined.
  3. 3
    Add the tuna on top, along with the celery and most of the green onions (leaving some for garnish). Gently stir until well combined.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm.
