TUNA SALAD IN TOMATO CUPS



Tuna Salad in Tomato Cups image

My husband and I love it and I make them for 2 but my kids don't like tuna fish. It is so easy to make it. It is so delicious and tasty.

Provided by Lisa Johnson

Categories     Tuna Salads

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can(s) (6 ounces) light water-packed tuna, drained and flaked
5 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 c celery, chopped
2 Tbsp green pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp onion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp soy sauce
dash white pepper
lettuce leaves
2 medium tomatoes

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients; chill. Line two serving plates with lettuce. Cut tomatoes, but not all the way through, into six wedges; place on lettuce and separate wedges slightly. Spoon into the center of each tomato.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the cups. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the tomatoes. This will help prevent them from tearing.
  • Scoop out the tomato pulp carefully, leaving the shell intact. You can use a spoon or a melon baller for this.
  • Season the tuna salad to taste. You can add more mayonnaise, salt, pepper, or other seasonings as desired.
  • Chill the tuna salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.

Conclusion:

Tuna salad in tomato cups is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dish that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover tuna. The combination of the creamy tuna salad and the juicy tomatoes is delicious, and the presentation is sure to impress your guests.
