Tuna (or Chicken) Apple Salad in Apple Cups

This is a fun one, and great for a luncheon or for a kids' party:
(makes 2 servings)

1 6 oz. can white albacore tuna in water, drained well
1 T. honey mustard
2-3 T. light* mayo
1/3 cup celery, diced
2 T. red onion, diced
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped*
2 Granny Smith* or apple of choice (do not pull out the stem)
1 lemon
Sea* salt, and freshly ground pepper

Place tuna in a bowl. Stir in mustard, mayo, celery and onion. Set aside. Slice off the top quarter of each apple. Cut an additional slice from the bottom of the apple (1/4-1/2" thick). Rub the cut parts of the apple as well as the top with fresh-cut lemon juice to keep from browning; set aside on a paper towel to dry. Use a spoon to carefully carve out the inside of the apples. Beginning in the center, remove and discard the core. Then continue scooping out flesh, working toward the perimeter, leaving about a 1/8-1/2" edge. Place the flesh on a paper towel, and drizzle with lemon juice. Transfer the apple trimmings (minus the seeds and core) to a cutting board, and dice into 1/4" pieces. Add to the tuna mixture, and combine well. Season with S&P to taste, and mix again. Place the apples on a plate. Fill each with about 1/2 cup of the tuna mixture, and cap with apple tops. Serve immediately with Lays Original Potato Chips, and some conchicorns.

Have FUN today!!!
