Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large tomatoes
- 1 can (5 oz) canned tuna in water
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice off the top of each tomato and carefully scoop out the seeds and pulp using a spoon. Set the hollowed-out tomatoes aside and discard the removed pulp or save it for another use.
Drain the canned tuna and transfer it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, dijon mustard, chopped celery, red onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl with the tuna.
Gently mix all the ingredients together with a fork, breaking up any large chunks of tuna, until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Fill each hollowed-out tomato generously with the tuna salad mixture.
Chill the stuffed tomatoes in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the tuna tomatoes as an appetizer or a light meal. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
