Tuna Salad with Eggs in a Bento Box

01

Step 1

Start by mixing the tuna, mayonnaise, chopped hard-boiled egg, onion, pickle chips, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until everything is well combined. Next, take the tomatoes and make a few slits from the top down to create little wedges—then gently stuff them with the tuna-egg salad.

Step 2

For the fruit kebabs, quickly dip banana slices in lemon juice to keep them from browning. Thread a toothpick with a banana slice, a chunk of pineapple, and a strawberry, repeating until you’ve used up all the fruit.

Step 3

Slice one carrot and one cucumber into about 3/4-inch rounds. Using a small knife, carve the carrot slices into tulip shapes, and trim the cucumber rounds into leaf shapes. Assemble these by skewering a cucumber leaf onto a toothpick and topping it with a carrot tulip. Make as many as you like!

Step 4

For some cute mini veggie flowers, slice the remaining carrot and cucumber into thinner 1/2-inch rounds and use a small flower-shaped cutter to punch out tiny blossoms.

Step 5

To make the heart-shaped egg, place a warm, peeled boiled egg into a heart mold and close it gently but firmly. Pop the mold into a bowl of cold water and let it sit for about 10 minutes before carefully removing the egg and patting it dry.

Step 6

Finally, arrange everything neatly in your bento box—the stuffed tomatoes, fruit kebabs, tulip skewers, mini veggie flowers, and heart-shaped eggs—for a colorful and tasty lunch.
