This is a great dish to serve at an informal luncheon. Ripe tomatoes are stuffed with salmon, green onions, cucumbers and green pepper.
- Place tomatoes in boiling water for 20 seconds, then place in a ice bath.
- Remove skin from tomatoes and cut off the tops.
- Scoop out the centers of the tomatoes. Turn the tomatoes upside down to drain.
- Meanwhile break the salmon into small pieces. Remove any bones and skin if any.
- Combine salmon with cucumber, celery, onion, green pepper and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper and gently mix well.
- Lightly salt the inside of the tomatoes and fill with the salmon mixture.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and set on a platter or individual plates atop lettuce leaves.
- Note: you may want to cut a small portion from the bottom of the tomatoes which will allow it to sit evenly on the plate.
