Instructions
- Heat up the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller or a small spoon remove most of the seeds and flesh to make zucchini boats. I usually freeze the flesh in a zip lock bag and use in smoothies or soups.
- Place emptied zucchini boats on a baking tray and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes until tender but not mushy.
- Make the tuna salad. In a medium bowl mix together tuna, green pepper, celery, red onions, parsley, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper.
- Stuff zucchini boats with tuna salad and top with grated cheese.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes in 410 degrees Fahrenheit or broil until the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
You can swap mayo for Greek yogurt, if you want, or use a mix of 1 tablespoon mayo and 1 tablespoon yogurt.
Add whatever crunchy veggies you like: finely diced carrots, Jalapeno pepper, pickles and fresh herbs such as chives, cilantro, tarragon or dill.
