Smoked Trout Salad in Cherry Tomato Cups
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Rich, smoky trout in little tomato ?cups? makes a festive, easy-to-eat combination. You can use both red and yellow cherry tomatoes, if desired.
Serves about
30
1/4 pound smoked trout (remove skin if necessary)
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Freshly ground black pepper
30 large cherry tomatoes (1 pint)
Chopped fresh chives for garnish (optional)
Place trout in a medium bowl and break up into small pieces with a fork. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and chives; stir to combine. Season generously with pepper.
Using a serrated knife, cut 1/2 inch off the stem end of each tomato and a tiny bit off the bottom so the tomatoes will stand. Remove the seeds using a small melon baller. Fill each hollow tomato with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of the trout salad. Sprinkle each with a few chives, if using, and serve.
Makes 10 (3-piece) servings
