Stuffed Tomatoes with Herby Radish Salad

Stuffed Tomatoes with Herby Radish Salad

Stuffed Tomatoes with Herby Radish Salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish that combines savory baked tomatoes filled with quinoa and feta, paired with a crisp, lemony radish salad for a perfect contrast of warm and cool textures.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium-sized tomatoes
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 small cucumber, diced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil a baking dish.
  2. In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until translucent. Mix in quinoa, feta, parsley, salt, and pepper. Let cool slightly.
  3. Slice off the tops of the tomatoes and scoop out the insides, leaving a sturdy shell. Place them in the baking dish.
  4. Spoon the quinoa mixture into each tomato without overfilling. Replace tops if desired.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until tomatoes are tender and stuffing is heated through.
  6. Meanwhile, toss radishes, cucumber, mint, parsley, lemon juice, and remaining olive oil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve baked tomatoes with the fresh herby radish salad on the side.

Notes

  • Use a serrated knife to cleanly cut tomato tops.
  • Chill the salad for better contrast with the warm tomatoes.
  • Do not overstuff tomatoes to prevent them from collapsing during baking.
