Ingredients:
- 2 large oranges (for cups)
- 1 can of tuna in oil (about 200 g)
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the orange cup:
- Wash the oranges very well under running water.
- Carefully cut off the top of each orange, forming a lid. Using a spoon, scoop out the flesh of the orange, being careful not to break the peel. You can use the flesh to enhance the salad or make fresh juice.

2. Preparing the salad:
- In a medium bowl, drain the tuna from the can and flake it into small pieces with a fork.
- Add the chopped red onion and bell pepper, gently mixing to avoid breaking the texture of the tuna.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This combination will add a touch of freshness to the salad.
- Pour the dressing over the tuna and vegetable mixture, mixing carefully until all ingredients are well coated.

3. Assembly:
- Distribute the tuna salad evenly into the two orange cups, sprinkling a little fresh parsley on top for an attractive appearance.
- Place the orange lids on top for a special effect.

4. Serving:
- For a special presentation, you can serve the salad on a platter with green lettuce leaves. This tuna salad in orange will prove to be a perfect appetizer for any occasion, from a family dinner to a party with friends.

Practical tips:
- Make sure to use fresh and juicy oranges to achieve a perfect cup.
- You can vary this recipe by adding olives or capers for an extra flavor boost.
- If you prefer a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
- Tuna salad in orange is a versatile recipe: experiment with different types of fish or add avocado for a creamy texture.
