Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes

There are plenty of ways to enjoy tuna without mayonnaise. Try this tuna stuffed tomatoes recipe for a healthy lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 4 large Beefsteak Tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 5-ounce cans of tuna, drained
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Put the balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil on high heat.
  2. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until it has reduced to about 1/2 and coats the back of a spoon, which is about 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool (it will thicken once cool).
  4. Cut a large circle into the tops of the tomatoes and use a small spoon to follow each one making sure you don’t poke through the bottoms or sides. If the tomatoes are wobbly, you can cut the bottoms flat.
  5. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt inside each tomato.
  6. Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar on the inside of each tomato and then pack each tomato with 1/2 can of tuna.
  7. Drizzle each tomato with another 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar and then 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  8. Garnish with basil.
