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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Drain the canned tuna and transfer it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, dijon mustard, chopped celery, red onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 4

Gently mix all the ingredients together with a fork, breaking up any large chunks of tuna, until the mixture is well combined and creamy.

Step 5

Fill each hollowed-out tomato generously with the tuna salad mixture.

Step 6

Chill the stuffed tomatoes in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve the tuna tomatoes as an appetizer or a light meal. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
