Elevate your appetizer game with these vibrant and flavorful Crab and Avocado Stuffed Tomatoes. Juicy, hollowed-out tomatoes serve as natural edible bowls, brimming with a creamy, zesty filling made from premium lump crab meat, ripe avocado, and a touch of mayo with fresh parsley, green onion, and a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness. Seasoned with a sprinkle of paprika, salt, and pepper, these stuffed tomatoes combine freshness and indulgence in every bite. Ready in just 20 minutes with no cooking required, this recipe is perfect for a quick summer starter, a light lunch, or an elegant party platter. Serve chilled for an irresistible combination of cool, creamy, and savory perfection.
Wash the tomatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice off the top of each tomato and gently scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon, being careful not to tear the outer shell. Set the hollowed tomatoes upside down on a plate to drain.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crab meat, diced avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, and finely sliced green onion.
Season the crab mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix gently to avoid mashing the avocado.
Flip the hollowed tomatoes back upright and fill each one generously with the crab and avocado mixture.
Sprinkle with extra parsley or paprika as garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes before serving.
