  • 4 servings

Ingredients

    • 4
      medium sized fresh Florida Tomatoes
    • ½ cup
      (125 mL) plain low fat yogurt
    • 2 cups
      (500 mL) chicken, cooked, shredded and chilled
    • ¼ cup
      (60 mL) flat leaf parsley, chopped
    • ½ cup
      (125 mL) finely diced celery
    • ½ cup
      (125 mL) carrots, small diced
    • 1
      lemon, juiced
    • 1
      small onion, finely diced
    • Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

    1. Rinse tomatoes under cold running water and pat dry with clean paper towels. With a sharp serrated knife, slice off the top part of the tomato. Turn tomato over and make 4 to 5 slices, working around the tomato and being careful not to slice all the way down through the tomato. Set tomatoes aside.
    2. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine all remaining ingredients. Taste chicken salad and adjust seasoning with the kosher salt and fresh ground pepper.
    3. Using a fork, carefully spread each tomato open to form a bowl. Fill with one-quarter of chicken salad mixture. Repeat with remaining tomatoes.
    4. Serve chilled.
