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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Drain the canned tuna well and transfer it to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to flake the tuna into small pieces.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Fold in the shredded carrot to add a little crunch and sweetness, making the tuna salad kid-friendly and nutritious.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sweet paprika on top of the stuffed celery for added color and flavor.
Step 7
Arrange the stuffed celery sticks on a serving platter. Serve immediately or refrigerate them for up to 2 hours if preparing in advance.
