Tuna Salad stuffed Tomatoes

Stuffing veggies is a sure way to turn them into comfort foods that everyone in the family is going to love, easy enough for everyday meals and attractive enough for your party menu.Its a nice way to incorporate veggies in your diet and involves a lot less work. And the possibilities of stuffings are limitless starting from veggies, lean meats, flavourful cheese, risotto,leftover rice etc.

Stuffing any vegetable is a simple thing but the technique varies from vegetables to vegetable. A very important thing to be kept in mind is to take the freshest and ripest vegetable available making sure it’s not too big and soft. Once the stuffing is stuffed into the hollows its is either baked or shallow fried and sometimes cooked in a gravy or a sauce to keep them moist and flavourful.

For the 59 th Foodie Monday Bloghop for the theme Stuffed Veggies I have prepared these Tuna salad stuffed tomatoes which is eaten as a salad and most simple,tasty, healthy and a filling recipe. The best part is it can be done ahead of time and refrigerated and served cold. Throw in all the salad ingredients together in a bowl, stuff the cored tomatoes with it and they are ready! This recipe needs no roasting and cooking as its a salad. Personally I don’t like the look of a roasted stuffed veggie as the skin shrinks due to heat and you have to compromise on the looks.

Convenient and nutritious recipe with the crunch of the celery and the zing of the Jalapeños complimenting the Tuna and the Tomato. Best for a day when you don’t want to strive in the kitchen yet want gourmet food on your table.Enjoy !!
