Rice-Stuffed Tomatoes

  • Stir together in a bowl 1 cup cooked brown or wild rice, ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheese, ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, ½ cup frozen green peas (uncooked) and ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions. Toss with your favorite salad dressing such as Ranch, Italian or balsamic vinaigrette.
  • For each serving, cut off the very top of a large fresh tomato. You will need 4 tomatoes. Carefully scoop out the center pulp. Reserve the pulp for another recipe, such as spaghetti sauce. Stuff the tomato with the rice mixture.
  • Store each serving in a tight container with a lid. This can be eaten cold or heated up in the microwave.

Makes 4 servings.
