What You Need
For this recipe, you will need set of chef's knives (affiliate link), a cutting board, and measuring cups and spoons (affiliate link). You will also need a serving tray or pretty plate to serve these stuffed tomatoes. Every kitchen should have the very best tools you can afford.
Ingredients
24 cherry tomatoes or one large tomato
Tarragon Chicken Salad Stuffing
1 12.5-ounce can cooked chicken, drained
2 tablespoons Miracle Whip Salad Dressing or mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried tarragon leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 green onions, white and tender green parts only, sliced small
Instructions
Slice a small slice off the bottom of the tomato so it sits flat on your plate.
With a pairing knife, cut the stem and hard core out of the tomato, slicing around the center of the tomato, leaving about 2 inches on the outside. You should be making a hole in the tomato big enough to fit the amount of chicken salad you want to put in it.
Stuff the chicken salad into the hole and garnish with sliced green onion tops or parsley. (Alternatively, you can use egg salad or tuna salad as a stuffing.)
