Amt.	Measure	Ingredient



1	can	Chunk tuna, light, canned in water, drained ( 6 oz. can)
3/4	large	zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, seeds scooped out
1/4	stalk, large (11"-12" long)	celery, Minced
1/2	large	red onion, minced
1/4	teaspoon	dill, dried
1/2	tablespoon	parsley, finely chopped (flat leaf Italian)

Steps

Sequence	Step

1	Preheat your oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment. Slice the zucchini in half and using a teaspoon, scoop out the center, about an inch
2	Spray each half lightly with cooking spray and roast for 15-20 minutes (this will depend on the size of your zucchini). The key is to have them tender, but not mushy. Use a fork to see how easily you can pierce the side, look for slight browning on the side.
3	Meanwhile, mix together the tuna, celery, red onion, dill and parsley, and the lemon juice.
4	Once the zucchini is done remove from oven and turn on the broiler.
5	Fill zucchini with the tuna mixture, sprinkle with chopped tomato and top with the parmesan cheese.
6	Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese has browned and is crispy on top.
