Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 cans (5 ounces each) canned tuna in olive oil
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup kalamata olives, chopped
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the tops off the tomatoes and set them aside. Use a spoon to carefully hollow out the tomatoes, removing the seeds and pulp. Be careful not to pierce the walls of the tomatoes. Reserve the tops for presentation if desired.
Drain the tuna and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it apart into smaller flakes.
Add the chopped red onion, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley into the bowl with the tuna.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Fill each hollowed tomato with the tuna mixture, packing it gently to ensure it holds its shape.
Optional: Place the reserved tops of the tomatoes back onto the stuffed tomatoes for presentation.
Serve immediately or chill the stuffed tomatoes in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before serving for a refreshing, cool dish.
