Tuna Egg Salad Bento Box - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Tuna-Egg Salad:
    1 (5 ounce) can water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
    1/2 cup canola mayonnaise
    1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
    2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet onion
    2 tablespoons chopped hamburger dill pickle chips
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 tomatoes
    Fruit Kebabs:
    1 banana, sliced
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    toothpicks
    1 (4 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
    6 strawberries
    Vegetable Cut-Outs:
    2 carrots, divided
    2 cucumbers, divided
    black olives
    1 hot hard-boiled egg, peeled
Preparation
    Combine tuna, mayonnaise, chopped egg, onion, pickle chips, and salt in a bowl to make tuna-egg salad.
    Place tomatoes on a flat work surface. Cut slits from the top towards the bottom to make partial wedges. Fill tomatoes with tuna salad.
    Dip banana slices in lemon juice. Thread a toothpick through a banana slice, pineapple chunk, and strawberry. Repeat assembling kebabs with the remaining fruit.
    Cut 1 carrot and 1 cucumber into 3/4-inch circles. Cut each carrot slice into the shape of a tulip using a small knife. Trim cucumber slices into leaves. Thread a leaf through a toothpick; insert a tulip on top. Repeat with the remaining leaves and tulips.
    Cut the other carrot and cucumber into 1/2-inch slices. Cut out mini carrot and cucumber flowers using a mini flower-shaped vegetable cutter.
    Place the hot egg in a heart-shaped egg mold; close the lid slowly and tightly. Soak the mold in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Remove egg and drain on a paper towel.
    Arrange tuna-egg salad, fruit kebabs, tulips, carrot and cucumber cut-outs, and heart-shaped eggs in a bento box.
