Ingredients

1 large bell pepper
6 oz canned tuna (white albacore in water)
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Begin by preparing the bell pepper. Cut off the top, remove the seeds and membrane, and dice it into small pieces.
Drain the canned tuna and place it in a mixing bowl.
Add the diced celery, red onion, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the tuna.
In a separate small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture into a large bowl.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning according to your preference by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Let the tuna salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Once chilled, you can serve the Iselsa's Tuna Salad on its own as a light meal or in a sandwich, wrap, or lettuce cups.
