Ingredients[]

  • 10–oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to remove as much moisture as possible
  • 1 cup small curd low–fat (2%) cottage cheese (8 oz.)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (white and light green parts)
  • 1/4 cup soft blue Cheese, crumbled (1 oz.)
  • 14–oz. can white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 8 cups mixed salad greens
  • 8 thin slices Italian bread, toasted, for serving

Directions[]

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Bring large pot of water to a boil.

2. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix spinach, cottage cheese, scallions, blue Cheese and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper until well blended. Gently stir in beans. Set aside.

3. With small, sharp knife, score an “x” in base of each tomato. Carefully drop tomatoes into boiling water and cook 20 seconds. Remove from water with slotted spoon. When cool enough to handle, peel tomatoes with small sharp knife and cut out cores. Cut each tomato in half through equator. With spoon, scoop out and discard seeds, then remove and discard about half of the flesh from each tomato half.

4. Stuff tomato halves with spinachCheese mixture, then place in shallow casserole just large enough to hold tomatoes. Bake until soft and beginning to exude juices, about 20 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, arrange salad greens in ring on each plate. Carefully transfer one tomato half to center of each ring. Serve with toasted bread slices.
