Tuna Salad, Tomato?

Difficulty: Easy

Time: 10 Minutes

Serves: 1

This is a twist on the classic tuna fish sandwich. By replacing bread with the vibrant, flavorful vessel of a tomato, this dish is lower in calories and higher in vitamins and fiber! I also chose to add a kick with hot sauce. While the is optional of course, it brings this dish to the next level!

Ingredients:

1 large tomato

1 3 oz can of tuna

1/8 cup mayonnaise

1/8 cup hot sauce (I used Frank's RedHot original)

2 cups lettuce

Instructions:

Step 1: Using a small knife, carefully cut a circle (about 2 inches in diameter) around the stem of the tomato. This cut should reach about 2/3 of the way down the tomato, but not puncture the bottom.

Step 2:Using a spoon, gently scoop out the inside of the tomato, leaving about 1/2 inch thick walls.

Step 3: In a small bowl, combine the (drained) tuna, mayonnaise, and hot sauce.

Step 4: Scoop the tuna mixture into the tomato bowl. Serve on a bed of lettuce.

Step 5: Enjoy!
