With the hot temperatures for the last week, we needed something cool to eat. What could be better than a huge tomato stuffed with chicken salad? This is another easy recipe. If you make the chicken salad early in the day, then the flavors will have a chance to meld…Here is a preview…

Let’s dive in, shall we? This serves two.
Ingredients
2 cans of chicken, chilled
3 stalks of celery
2 good slices of onion
1 TBS Mrs. Dash
Chili flakes
Mayonnaise
2 large tomatoes
Green salad
Drain the juices out of the can of chicken and add to a mixing bowl. Break up the chunks to shred the chicken.
Break up the chicken
Next chop up the celery and the onion and add to the chicken. Stir until well combined.
Combine in the celery and onion
Next add the Mrs. Dash and stir well.
Add Mrs. Dash
If you want a bit of heat, add the chili flakes. Let this sit in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat.
When ready to serve, remove the stem end of the tomato. Next, slice the sides being careful not to cut all the way through. Open up the tomato so that it resembles a flower. Using a spoon, stuff the tomato with the chicken salad between the slices and then spoon more on the top. Set this on top of your salad and serve!
Stuffed tomatoes!
I hope that you enjoy this easy salad! To change this up, you can also prepare a tomato and stuff it with bay shrimp!

I like it with tuna. Farmers markets should have some nice big, ripe tomatoes. Thanks for reminding me about the stuffed tomato dish. It does make a nice meal on a hot day. Never thought about shrimp. That must be delicious.
Yum! Thanks for posting!
This looks gorgeous, will have to try it, although I don’t know what Mrs Dash is?
A salt free seasoning blend that includes: Onion, black pepper, parsley, celery seed, basil, bay, marjoram, oregano, savory, thyme, cayenne pepper, coriander, cumin, mustard, rosemary, orange peel, tomato, lemon juice powder and oil of lemon….whew! Quite a list and tasty too!
Sounds yummy 🙂
Love the idea of putting it in a tomato! Chicken salad’s one of my favorites! Though I like to cook my own chicken for it. Great recipe.
Thank you Rachel! I have to do this again when my husband goes out of town with the shrimp…he does not eat shellfish….
Ooh, good idea! Love shrimp.
Lovely presentation, Barbara. And God Bless Mrs. Dash. What would I do without her? With one shake of the bottle, she makes my dishes go from so what? to soooo yummy!
It’s too beautiful to eat! Z

I thought they were bell peppers! Nice!
Cool and refeshing meal idea, thanks. And looks great too.
