Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna in water
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Dill pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Shredded carrot
- 0.5 teaspoon Sweet paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the celery stalks under cold water and pat them dry with a clean paper towel. Use a sharp knife to trim the ends and cut each stalk into 3 pieces for easier handling.
Drain the canned tuna well and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small pieces.
Add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, dill pickle relish, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the tuna. Mix everything well until evenly combined.
Fold in the shredded carrot to add a little crunch and sweetness, making the tuna salad kid-friendly and nutritious.
Using a spoon, scoop a portion of the tuna salad and carefully stuff it into the hollow part of each celery piece. Press lightly to make sure the filling stays in place.
If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sweet paprika on top of the stuffed celery for added color and flavor.
Arrange the stuffed celery sticks on a serving platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate them for up to 2 hours if preparing in advance.
