This is far from the traditional tuna salad. This tastes like summer if you use garden fresh tomatoes. A great lunch idea and can be made ahead. I served this with crunchy bread sticks and fresh fruit. Created for RSC #6 Contest.

Steps:
- Place tuna, green & red peppers, capers, pistachios, parsley flakes, and purple onion in medium size bowl.
- Make dressing by placing all ingredients into a blender or mini chopper; pulse until oil is emulsified.
- Pour over tuna mixture.
- Add parmesan and mix well.
- Chill until ready to serve.
- Cut tomatoes; place stem side down and cut into wedges without cutting all of the way through the tomato; gently spread wedges to form bowl for the tuna salad.
- Fill each tomato with a tad more than ½ cup of the tuna.
- Serve on a piece of leaf lettuce to add color to the plate.
