Ingredients
For the Chicken Salad
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup celery, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Tomato Rolls
- 4 large tomatoes
- Lettuce leaves for serving
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Mix all the ingredients for the chicken salad in a bowl and set aside while you prepare the tomatoes.
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Salad
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
Prepare the Tomatoes
Carefully cut the tops off the tomatoes and scoop out the insides using a spoon. Make sure to leave enough flesh to hold the shape.
Assemble the Rolls
Fill each hollowed tomato with the chicken salad mixture. Place on a bed of lettuce leaves and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Storage Tips
To keep your Tomato Rolls fresh, it's best to prepare the chicken salad ahead of time and store it separately from the tomatoes. The hollowed tomatoes can be kept in the refrigerator for a short period, but it's recommended to fill them just before serving to maintain their integrity and freshness. If you have leftover chicken salad, it can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
If you find yourself with extra tomatoes, consider using them in salads, sauces, or even as a base for soups. This way, nothing goes to waste, and you can enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer even longer.
Serving Suggestions
These Tomato Rolls pair wonderfully with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving them alongside a refreshing cucumber salad, a light pasta dish, or some crispy baked sweet potato fries. The lightness of the rolls balances well with heartier sides, creating a well-rounded meal.
For a more substantial offering, you can complement the rolls with a selection of cheeses and whole grain crackers. This not only enhances the flavor profile but also provides a satisfying crunch that pairs beautifully with the creamy chicken salad.
