Salmon Salad Stuffed Tomatoes

Everyone knows salmon is good for you,
I stuff some fresh tomatoes with this
tasty salmon salad with lima beans.
No mayonaise in this healthy recipe.
It's a different and good side dish.

Ingredients:
1 cup canned salmon, flaked
1/2 cup canned lima beans, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 kalamata olives, pitted and diced
1 teaspoon peeled, minced red onion
1/2 teaspoon dried chopped parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried chopped chives
ground black pepper to taste
4 red ripe tomatoes
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
In a mixing bowl combine salmon,
lima beans, olive oil, lemon juice,
olives, onion, parsley, pepper and chives.
Preheat oven on high broil setting.
Cut off the top of tomatoes and scoop out
pulp and seeds from inside making a bowl.
Add scooped out tomato to salmon mixture
in bowl and mix well to combine.
Fill tomato bowls with salmon mixture,
place filled tomatoes in a baking dish
and top with grated parmesan cheese.
Broil to just brown the cheese a bit.
You can now serve them but I like to
nuke them in the microwave a minute or two.
