Instructions
Place tuna in medium bowl. Flake with fork. Mix in yogurt
and next 6 ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut off 1/4 inch from tops of tomatoes. Gently squeeze
out seeds. Cut thin slice from bottoms of tomatoes so
that they will stand upright or have them nested among
greens on serving tray. Turn tomatoes top side up. Using
small knife or melon baller, scoop out insides of tomatoes.
Cover separately; chill. Pour off any excess liquid from
tuna before continuing. Spoon tuna into tomatoes.
* May also use 2 hothouse cucumbers in place of the tomatoes.
Using tines of fork, score sides of cucumber lengthwise.
Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Using melon baller, scoop
out some seeds in center of each round, being careful
not too scoop through bottom. Spoon tuna into scooped
out rounds. |
