What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Timeless Classics: Stuffed Tomato Tuna Salad! Pat yourself on the back for choosing today’s recipe as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. For the weight-conscious, opt out for a lighter version of mayonnaise or substitute using plain Greek yogurt instead. The tomato contains a high water content, plus the fiber will provide a feeling of fullness. That being said, go stuff yourself. Permission granted.
STUFFED TOMATO TUNA SALAD
Ingredients:
6 ounce can tuna in water, drained and flaked
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
2 tomatoes, cored
1 tablespoon walnuts, chopped
Fresh lemon tarragon
Romaine lettuce leaves
Lemon halves
Instructions:
Chill two luncheon plates. Place flaked tuna in a bowl. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Add mayonnaise, sea salt, celery seed, chopped celery, and dill pickle relish. Mix well. Chill. Cut tomatoes into 8 segments without slicing the bottom portion. Place one or two romaine lettuce leaves on a chilled plate. Transfer one tomato. Open it like a pinwheel. Spoon tuna salad into the tomato, filling it with half the portion. Garnish with walnuts, lemon tarragon, and a lemon slice. Repeat with second serving.
Excellent, Gail. I love your attention to detail, and the way you present food so that it always looks delicious. 🤗

I used to eat this very thing – albeit with mayo instead of yogurt – sometimes daily, working in a restaurant that served it! A classic for sure!
