Expert Tips

To reduce the fat in each serving of these tomatoes by about 1 gram, use nonfat cream cheese and reduced-fat mayonnaise.

Use a miniature lemon baller to hollow out the tomatoes. To easily fill the tomatoes, place the cream cheese mixture in a plastic squeeze bottle. Snip off three-quarters of the bottle's tip with a kitchen scissors. Squeeze the cream cheese mixture into the tomato shells.

Prepare this recipe up to one day in advance, cover and refrigerate until serving time.

This easy to make appetizer is so good, healthy and is light. I will definitely make these again!

this was a bit hit which I made for a 50th b'day party/4th of July celebration. It was refreshing not only in taste but it beat out munching on fattening snacks. I made 25 tomatoes and they were gone in a matter of minutes. Will definitely make again.
