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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Drain the tuna and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to break it apart into smaller flakes.

Step 3

Add the chopped red onion, kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped fresh parsley into the bowl with the tuna.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 6

Fill each hollowed tomato with the tuna mixture, packing it gently to ensure it holds its shape.

Step 7

Optional: Place the reserved tops of the tomatoes back onto the stuffed tomatoes for presentation.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill the stuffed tomatoes in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes before serving for a refreshing, cool dish.
