I grew up picking sun ripened tomatoes right off the vine in my Grandma’s garden.

We spent the summers together.

And let’s just say Grandma was the queen of Southern comfort food.

She liked to see us eat and her tomato sandwiches were the stuff of legend.

Thick slices of juicy tomatoes nestled between toasted wheat bread that was lightly spread with mayo.

Grandma definitely would definitely not understand the low carb trend but she would absolutely get behind these chicken bacon ranch stuffed tomatoes!

Sweet, ripe tomatoes loaded with creamy ranch chicken salad, crumbled bacon would definitely pass her taste.

And I’m sure they’ll pass yours anytime you want a light dinner or lunch.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

  • Mayonnaise– This is the one time when I’ll tell you it’s ok to use light mayo.
  • Greek yogurt– Plain. Feel free to sub an equal part of mayo, or even sour cream, if you would rather.
  • Mustard– Dijon.
  • Ranch seasoning– A packet of dry ranch seasoning, or use your own homemade ranch seasoning
  • Chicken– Save time and used chopped rotisserie chicken. Just discard the skin and bones. If you have leftover grilled or roast chicken you could also use that.
  • Bacon– Cooked crisp and crumbled, about 5 slices.
  • Green onions– Thinly sliced
  • Tomatoes– Medium to large vine-ripened tomatoes.

How to Make

These chicken bacon ranch stuffed tomatoes are easy to make.

Cover it and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until you are ready to stuff the tomatoes.

When you are ready to stuff the tomatoes, use a small paring knife and carefully slice off the top of each tomato and hollow them out, removing the seeds and excess pulp.

Stuff the tomatoes with the chicken salad until it’s all gone.

Serve them immediately.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover chicken salad for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

I don’t recommend storing the assembled stuffed tomatoes.

They will get mealy and watery in the fridge.

Tips and Tricks

  • While you can make the stuffed tomatoes immediately after making the chicken salad, letting the chicken salad sit in the fridge will bring out the best flavor.
  • Make sure to keep the tomatoes intact when you are cleaning out the seeds and pulp and don’t pierce the skin.
  • Add some cheddar to the chicken salad for a cheddar bacon ranch twist.
  • Go for larger tomatoes for the best results.
