Happy Thirst-Day, fam!

I hope everyone is holding up in this cold, because wow…my nose has been working overtime. If it’s not the weather, it’s the flu trying to humble me from every direction.

But by the grace of my God who loves me so much, I made it to today’s meeting—so we move! That being said, welcome to our daily food meeting!

Actually…quick one—did you realise the long weekend is basically starting today for some of us? Hehe, not bad at all.

So today’s star is the one and only: Zesty Lemon Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes.

Since we are easing into the long weekend, it only makes sense to keep things light and easy on the stomach too, right?

This recipe is straight to the point: it’s healthy, refreshing, and just what you need. No fuss, no stress—you will enjoy it.

I have already made mine, and it’s definitely calling my name…so let me quickly show you how to make yours!

How to make Zesty Lemon Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes

Ingredients:

  • 3–4 large ripe tomatoes
  • 1 can tuna (drained)
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt & black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion (optional for crunch)

Method:

  1. Prep the tomatoes: Cut the tops off and gently scoop out the inside. Set aside — you will have little tomato “cups”.
  2. Make the filling:
    In a bowl, mix:
    *Tuna
    *Yogurt
    *Mayonnaise
    *Lemon Juice
    *Salt & Pepper
    *Chopped Onion
    Mix until light and creamy.
  3. Fill them: Spoon the tuna mixture into each tomato.
  4. Chill (optional): Let them sit in the fridge for about 10–15 minutes before serving.

Extra tip:
*Sprinkle a little black pepper or squeeze extra lemon on top just before serving for that fresh kick
