PIN Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes
How to like canned tuna in 1 easy step:
- Stuff it in tuna and add balsamic reduction.
Okay, that might be two steps. BUT STILL.
MAN OH MAN, you guys. These tuna stuffed tomatoes are something else in the best possible way.
You know how your Mom made tuna noodle salad and it always made you very unexcited about dinner time? These tomatoes are NOT THAT.
They are actually good and yummy and will make you think twice about your canned tuna hatred.
We first tried these tomatoes when we went to Spain. They had them EVERYWHERE and, although Mr. FFF hates tuna unless it’s rare tuna like tuna ceviche bowls, we decided to act like locals and try them.
Then, just like pan con tomate, we ordered them almost daily.
I mean, if you can make tuna stuffed avocados, why not tomatoes RIGHT?
These little bites of protein-packed veggie BLISS are:
- So fresh
- So simple
- SO satisfying
Which, liiiike, I never thought I would say that about a tomato. But, here we are.
There’s something about the sweet, tangy balsamic reduction with the punchy flavors of tuna and the freshness of a big, juicy tomato that is pretty much perfect in your mouth.
It’s probably the ideal no-cook simple, satisfying lunch or dinner for the Summer. Or, really, any day that you want to eat something that tastes good AND makes you feel good, but you only got 5 minutes to make the magic HAPPEN.
And, everyone in the world raised their hand like “that’s MEEEEEEE.”
Ingredients for Tuna Stuffed Tomatoes
BECAUSE this recipe is so-stinking simple and uses super simple ingredients, you do really want to make sure you get good quality ingredients for maximum flavor!
Your balsamic vinegar should not be one of those ones that has no sugar and almost zero calories. This will not thicken and will be too tangy and just generally bad. There has never been a better time to INVEST in good quality balsamic vinegar. <–really, you should use good stuff all the time because it REALLY makes you meals so much yummier!
Good quality, lower-mercury tuna, like albacore is also important so your tomato experience is not super fishy and downright bad. If you don’t love the taste of tuna, you could also use tuna packed in oil as it’s a little more mellow!
Finally, good quality olive oil because that little drizzle on top? PACKS these tuna stuffed tomatoes with FLAVOR.
Simple? CHECK. Flavorful? DOUBLE CHECK! Satisfying? OH YES.
Move over tuna salad sandwich because tomatoes are the new kid in town.

Although I stuff peppers, never thought of stuffing tomatoes before. I thought they would be too juicy to stay intact. But these look beautiful. I would love to try them for sure!
