I was looking for a way to kill off some gluten-free dinner rolls and I remembered delicious bread bowls at Sweet Briar College filled with tuna or chicken salad. The cafe coated the bowl with butter, warmed the bowl in the oven and then dished out a heaping pile of salad. They were delicious!
Tuna Salad Bread Bowls
Easy tuna salad served in a warm, buttery bread bowl
Ingredients
Bowls
- 4 gluten-free dinner rolls
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/8 tsp salt
- Pinch black pepper
Tuna Salad
- 1 can tuna in water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic olive oil
- 1/8 cup green onions, chopped (green parts only)
- 1/2 cup low Fodmap yogurt
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450℉.
- Scoop out the center of the dinner roll. Make sure there is still enough bread on the bottom and the sides so there is enough structure to the bowl.
- Melt butter and brush inside and outside of the dinner rolls. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the inside of the bowl.
- Place bowls on a cookie sheet and in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the inside hardens a bit.
- While the bowls heat up, make the tuna salad.
- Take dinner rolls out of the oven and allow to cool so they can be handled without an oven mitt.
- Fill with tuna salad and sprinkle dill and chives overtop and serve.
