Tuna Salad Stuffed Tomatoes

You know what I love? A no-cook meal that is perfect for meal prep that features fresh-from-the-garden produce! That is exactly what these tuna salad-stuffed tomatoes are all about!

We have a juicy, ripe tomato stuffed with a light tuna salad featuring celery, fresh dill, lemon and Dijon mustard. YUM!

How to make tuna salad stuffed tomatoes:

  1. First, make the tuna salad. I like to use albacore tuna from the pouch, but you can use any kind of cooked tuna you like. Place the tuna in a bowl and stir in celery, plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon zest and juice and salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Next, grab a knife and spoon or melon baller and remove the stem, then scoop some of the insides of the tomato out. Just enough to fit the tuna salad.
  3. Spoon the tuna salad into the tomato and serve! It’s as easy as that.

You can prep the tuna salad 2-3 days in advance. Prep the tomato within a day of eating. Store them in separate containers and stuff the tomato just before eating.

You can also serve the tuna salad on whole grain bread or toast, in lettuce cups or with whole grain crackers. Or, just eat it with a fork! It’s delicious.

Now tell me – what are some of your favorite no-cook summer meals?
