EGG SALAD STUFFED TOMATOES
Ingredients
3 large fresh tomatoes
1-1/2 cup Muscle Egg plain egg whites
1 celery stalk, chopped
2 TB green onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
1 TB Dijon mustard
1 tsp paprika
2 TB dill relish
Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
How to Prepare
1. Spray a microwave-safe bowl with non-stick cooking spray, pour in the egg whites, and microwave for approximately 90 seconds, or until the eggs are fully cooked.
2. Put in the fridge and let cool for approximately 30 minutes.
3. In the meantime, carefully core and gut the tomatoes, leaving ¼ inch of tomato around the sides. Set aside.
4. Remove the eggs from the fridge and add to food processor with celery, green onion, yogurt, mustard, and paprika (if you don’t have food processor, you can mash with fork, but I prefer consistency with food processor). Mix until smooth.
5. Add the dill relish, salt, and pepper and give a quick grind (just a couple seconds) to blend together.
6. Divide and scoop the egg salad mixture evenly into each of the three tomatoes. Garnish with piece of green onion if desired for presentation. Enjoy!
NOTE: You can serve as a side dish or simply enjoy as a light snack or appetizer for a summer get-together.
