Mediterranean Tuna-Stuffed Tomatoes
Serves 4

4 large ripe tomatoes
2 cans chunk tuna in water, drained (6 oz cans)
1 large lemon, juiced
2 oz crumbled feta cheese
1 Tbsp capers (go crazy if you're crazy for capers)
3 Tbsp finely chopped red onion
14-15 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
3/4 cup green of your choice (arugula and spinach are nice), chopped
5-6 soft sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
Dash ground black pepper
Dash crushed red pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients, except for ripe tomatoes, in a bowl.  Cover and refrigerate for one hour prior to serving.

For tomatoes, use a sharp paring knife to cut a 3" circle into the top of a tomato. Angle knife inward to help remove a triangle-shaped piece of tomato.  Use a spoon to gently remove the pulp and seeds from the inside of the tomato (no need to scrape close to the skin- leave some flesh.  Sprinkle the inside lightly with salt and pepper.  Repeat with remaining tomatoes.

To serve: Spoon tuna salad mixture into each hollowed tomato. Garnish as desired and serve!
