Lentil and Sausage Stuffed Tomatoes

Turning tomatoes into little bowls is a great fun treat and is so easy when the filling is already made. Tuesday's leftover lentil sausage soup makes a quick filling and all you need to do is core the tomatoes and throw together an easy salad featuring seasonal persimmons.

- Whisk together vinegar, Dijon, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss with persimmons, baby spinach, and mozzarella if using. Enjoy with baked tomatoes.

Probably would have been good to salt and pepper the tomato before baking. Since the soup was just okay, the overall dish was just okay.
0 HelpfulNot my favorite.... even though I love tomatoes. Was in between 1 and 2 stars. I chose 1 because I won't make it again.
0 HelpfulI sort of made this--I forgot to buy the tomatoes, so I reheated the soup and served it as a stew with melted mozz on top. I still call it a success! The salad was so simple and delicious.
