Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 stalk celery
- 1 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice the tops off the tomatoes and use a small spoon to carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp, creating a hollow cavity. Be careful not to pierce the outer skin. Discard the seeds and pulp, or set them aside for another use.
Drain the canned tuna, then flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl with a fork.
Finely chop the celery, red onion, and parsley. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until creamy and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture, then gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste the tuna salad and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Carefully spoon the tuna salad mixture into the hollowed-out tomatoes, filling them generously.
Place the stuffed tomatoes on a plate or serving dish. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
