Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 2 6 oz cans canned tuna (packed in water or oil, drained)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 stalks green onion (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Cut off the tops and use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, creating a hollow center. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside on a plate.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, lemon juice, and green onion. Mix until well incorporated.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Carefully spoon the tuna mixture into each hollowed-out tomato, filling them generously.
If desired, drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the filled tomatoes for added flavor.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to serve chilled.
Enjoy your Herbed Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes as a fresh and healthy dish!
