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

Directions

Step 1

Wash the tomatoes thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Drain the canned tuna, then flake it into a medium-sized mixing bowl with a fork.

Step 4

Finely chop the celery, red onion, and parsley. Add them to the bowl with the tuna.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until creamy and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the tuna mixture, then gently toss everything together until evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste the tuna salad and adjust the seasonings if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 8

Carefully spoon the tuna salad mixture into the hollowed-out tomatoes, filling them generously.

Step 9

Place the stuffed tomatoes on a plate or serving dish. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
