Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Crab meat (fresh or canned)
- 1 medium English cucumber, diced
- 4 large Tomatoes (beefsteak or large round tomatoes)
- 2 tablespoons Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
Using a sharp knife, cut the tops off the tomatoes and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp with a spoon, creating hollow cups. Set the hollowed tomatoes upside-down on a paper towel to drain any excess liquid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, diced cucumber, red onion, and fresh dill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the crab and cucumber mixture, and gently toss to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Carefully fill each hollowed tomato cup with the crab cucumber salad mixture, slightly mounding the filling on top.
Chill the stuffed tomato cups in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the tomato cups cold as a refreshing appetizer or light side dish.
