Steps:
- Cover the eggs with about an inch of water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, remove from the heat, cover and let stand for 8 minutes. Drain and submerge in ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel the eggs and chop.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble into bite-size pieces.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon zest and juice, celery, reserved tuna oil, three-quarters of the scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Add the tuna and three-quarters of the bacon and egg and gently fold together (do not overmix). Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and pepper.
- Double-up the lettuce leaves and fill each with some tuna salad. Tuck in a tomato slice. Sprinkle with reserved scallions, bacon and egg.

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.
