One of my favorite snacks or starter, these tuna stuffed eggs are tasty for any occasion and they often make my holiday lunch table, including Christmas.

Notes: If you don't have a food blender you can use a fork to mash the egg yolks with the tuna and the other ingredients. When looking for sauces like mayonnaise and mustard, check the label for high FODMAP ingredients such as onion, garlic, or even spices and natural flavors, as they may contain onion or garlic. If in doubt. contact the manufacturer.
