Fresh heirloom tomatoes are hollowed out, then filled with a deliciously healthy tuna salad and served on a bed of greens and herbs. These protein-packed, no cook stuffed heirloom tomatoes are great anytime of the year, but especially when fresh tomatoes are in season. They are naturally gluten free and keto-friendly. Use some homemade mayonnaise instead of Greek yoghurt if you need to go dairy free.

- With a sharp knife, slice 0.5cm / 1/5inch off the top of each tomato. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and pulp. Roughly chop the pulp and place in a large bowl.
- Add the tuna, dill stems, fennel, red onion, capers, sour cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
- Spoon the tuna mixture into the tomatoes. Serve with the tops on a bed of salad greens and sprinkle some pomegranate seeds over if using.

...they look great.
The stuffed heirloom tomatoes are excellent!
How rich are stuffed tomatoes , ideal to eat in summer. Around here they are one of the main dishes of Christmas Eve dinner.
Those gotta be really good, especially with fresh garden tomatoes.
Healthy and delicious
I go through spells when I just crave tuna salad. Seeing I'm on one of those kicks right now, these are making me practically drool. Happy weekend Angie. hugs-Erika
Gracias por la receta Te mando un beso.
Never seen heirloom tomatoes here. Must be really tasty.
They do look great.
devono essere buonissimi!
Somos mucho de tomates rellenos en verano, con ensaladilla los consumimos bastante, pero también con otros rellenos. El tuyo me ha gustado mucho.
Such a simple looking and delicious salad Angie! Lovely!
Such lovely colour those tomatoes have! We only have the red ones in our green markets, but we used to grow the yellow ones at my farm when I was a kid.
One of my favorite combinations. Thanks for another delicious recipe Angie :)
I smell tuna far from here ... your food looks so tasty
They looks delicious!
My mom would have loved this idea to stuff tomatoes she was a huge fan of all kinds of salads what a pretty lunch to serve!
These look like the perfect light lunch or hors d’œuvres for the warmer weather. We love tuna canned or otherwise.
That was me!
This is a great idea to customize heirloom tomatoes.
That's an interesting combo.
I've loved tuna salad my whole life. Filling a ripe heirloom tomato sounds perfect!
We were just talking about getting some tomatoes planted soon so we have a nice harvest this summer. I would love these tomatoes filled with tuna for some summer lunches!
Oh my God this looks so good darling
I love tuna stuffed tomatoes! I make them in a slightly different way (in the Italian manner, of course!) and they're a perennial favorite in this household, especially in the summer.
Your addition of dill, fennel, and capers is a perfect way to add some extra flavor and texture. Yum!
We love tuna stuffed tomatoes, such a perfect lunch on warm days! Your tuna salad with dill and capers sounds perfectly delicious :)
Angie, I'd have to skip the greens but tomatoes and tuna salad are definitely on my radar. It won't be long and we'll be able to find some local heirloom tomatoes in the local markets. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Wow ....it's a new to me to know that color of tomatoes.. Cool ^^
My family enjoys tuna salad and your version is a lot more healthy than my recipe. I love serving tuna salad in tomatoes, such a pretty presentation, Angie!
Sweet juicy tomatoes bursting with savory filling. Yum!
