Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes: cut around stem carefully and remove. Hollow out the inside of the tomato and stuff with tuna. Top with a matchstick slice of celery. Enjoy 
For Tea Sandwiches: Cut crust off 4 slices of bread, your choice. Slather a layer of tuna salad on two slices. Top with gherkin sweet pickles sliced lengthways. Confine the pickles near each corner so they remain intact while cutting. Top with slice of bread and cut each sandwich in fours making triangles or squares. Top with a chunk of pickle stabbed with a toothpick. Enjoy
