Tahini Tuna Tomato Salad

Who said Tuna salad had to be boring? 

If you are like me a big fan of tuna salads I highly recommend trying this salad as a way to spruce up the humble and  mundane tuna salad! 

(I advise not having tuna more than 1-2 a week due to high mercury levels found in tuna)

This is my take on the "tomates Farcies" a french recipe of stuffed tomatoes cooked in the oven with veal mince as stuffing. 

I found this stuffed tomato and tuna salad to be a great recipe for a light lunch in summer. 

Ingredients: recipe for 2

• 2 tomatoes ( preferably organic or from the Farmers'market)
• 1 can of tuna in springwater;
• 2 teaspoons of Tahini;
• Fresh herbs ( parsley/ coriander)
• seeds (optional)
• spinach 

Instructions:

1. Wash tomatoes thoroughly;
2. Cut the top of the tomato to keep the "hat";
3. Empty tomato;
4. Mix the tomato with tuna tahini,seeds and herbs;
5. Fill tomato again with the "Farce";
6. Put on a bed of spinach with olive oil and salt and pepper;
7. Enjoy!
