Taste of Tuesday : Healthy Tuna BLT Cups

This recipe could not have been easier, let me tell you!! Who doesn’t know how to make Tuna salad, or stuff a tomato?! This is also the most adaptable recipe to fit your taste. So many options for fill-ins, the sky is the limit.

Ingredients: One Medium size tomato ~ 1 can of tuna or chicken (whichever you prefer) ~ Tzatziki (I use this in place of mayo, another good alternative is greek yogurt) ~ red onion ~ salt ~ pepper ~ crushed garlic ~ lettuce ~ Bacon bits ~

Optional Add-ins:

Chopped Walnuts ~ Celery ~ Pickles [this is my favorite but I was out 🙁 ] ~ cranberries ~ grapes

Okay, okay you get the point, you can pretty much add anything based on your calorie needs.

Directions:

1. Mix Tuna, red onion, garlic and tzatziki and add seasonings to taste.

2. Cut the top of the tomato like you are carving a pumpkin. Scoop out the insides (save them for a salad, add to the tuna mix, or toss)

3. Fill tomato with lettuce, add tuna mixture and sprinkle top with bacon bits.

I cut the tomato into eights and gobbled up post workout with a protein shake.

I will be making this again but I may use a thinner or smaller tomato to allow all the flavors to really pop, versus it being mostly tomato.

Linking up with Jessica and Ashley.
