Stuffed tomatoes for a snack is a great option for a youth party or buffet. They look very appetizing, even festive, and are prepared simply and quickly. It is also impossible not to note the lightness of such an appetizer: you will not find meat or poultry in the composition of tomato fillings. But there are a lot of fresh vegetables: juicy, fragrant, healthy! It should be noted that we offer two options for snacks: one is strictly vegetarian, with cheese, and the other is with shrimp. So most likely you will please everyone! Remember that these stuffed tomatoes should be kept in the refrigerator before serving in the refrigerator: this way they will keep better and become even tastier.

How to cook Stuffed tomatoes for a snack

Step 1

Prepare the tomatoes. Wash them and pat dry with paper towels. To give them stability, use a sharp knife to cut horizontally some of the pulp from the bottom of the fruit.

Step 2

Carefully cut off the top of each tomato with the stalk horizontally. Then remove the pulp with a teaspoon, being careful not to damage the walls of the fruit. The pulp can be used later.

Step 3

Salt the inside of the tomatoes a little so that excess moisture is released from the fruit. Leave the fruits for 10 minutes. Then lay cut side down on a paper towel. Leave for 20 minutes.

Step 4

Cook tomatoes the Greek way. Cucumbers, sweet pepper cut into small cubes, olives - circles. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Remove the leaves from the oregano sprigs. Bryndza cut into cubes.

Step 5

Mix lemon juice with olive oil, salt and pepper. Combine all previously prepared ingredients. Pour in the dressing and stir. Spread the filling over the tomatoes (8 pieces). Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.

Step 6

Prepare shrimp tomatoes. Peel the apple and cut into cubes. Stir in lemon juice. Boil shrimp (5 minutes). Cut the celery into cubes. Chop nuts.

Step 7

Mix mayonnaise with cream, salt and pepper. Combine all previously prepared ingredients and mix with dressing. Spread over the remaining tomatoes. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour.
