3-""T's"" Tomato, Tuna....Tasty.April 27, 2008By CraigandKellie
"This was a delicious snack that my wife and I enjoyed. It was so good we had friends over the next night and decided to let them have a try. Instead of using small cherry tomatos. We used medium tomatos from off the vine. This worked esspecially well for larger portions."
