Wash the tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice off the top of each tomato (approximately 1/2 inch) and scoop out the seeds and pulp using a small spoon, being careful not to puncture the sides. Set the hollowed tomatoes aside.
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it to a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it apart into smaller flakes.
Dice the celery and red onion into small pieces and finely chop the fresh parsley. Add them to the tuna in the mixing bowl.
In a small separate bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Pour the ranch mayonnaise mixture over the tuna and vegetables. Stir everything together until evenly coated and creamy.
Spoon the tuna mixture into the hollowed tomatoes, filling them generously.
Garnish the top of each stuffed tomato with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before serving, or serve immediately for a fresh and flavorful dish.
