These tulip tomatoes are a healthy side dish perfect for any spring or summer occasion. Truly wow your guests at this work of art that you have created in just under 30 minutes. They will think that you spent hours in the kitchen. They are so pretty to look at, you almost don’t want to eat them.
The tulip tomatoes are made with mostly fresh ingredients like cucumber, tomatoes, and chives making them light and delicious. You might not be able to eat just one.
Make them or an appetizer for your next party, believe me, they will be a hit!
Tulip Tomatoes Stuffed With A Cucumber Cream Cheese Dip
Ingredients:
- 15 Large Cherry Tomatoes
- 16 stalks of chives
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- 1 cucumber
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper
Directions:
1. With the stem side down, cut across in the top of each cherry tomato (about ¾ down the tomato).
2. Using a spoon (grapefruit spoon works very well here) gently scrape out the tomato seeds.
3. Take a grilling skewer or toothpick and make a hole where the stem currently is. You may need to twist the skewer
in a circle a few times to make room for the chive to fit through.
4. Finely chop or grate the cucumber.
5. Mix cream cheese, cucumber, and basil in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add a teaspoon of cream cheese mixture into each tomato tulip (adjust depending on the size of your tomatoes).
7. Insert a chive into the hole at the bottom of each tomato.
8. Use a damp paper towel to clean any excess cream cheese filling from outside of tomatoes.
9. Prepare the tulip tomato bouquet on a large plate or platter. Use the extra chive stalk to wrap around the tulip stems to
complete the bouquet.
10. ENJOY!

If you cut a bamboo skewer to whatever length you need and stick it into the chive or green onion stem, then into the tomato, you can make a flower that will stand in a vase for your tablescape. I love the filling you used in the tomatoes.
Love that idea!!
I can’t believe how much these look like tulips! Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing at Welcome Home Wednesdays! I hope you will join us again next week.

Its easier than you think I promise 🙂
These are so cute. I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for sharing at Share Your Style link party.
I made these for Easter, but I’d like to make a couple of suggestions, if I may…
Chop the cucumber, not grate, and drain the cucumber VERY WELL.
My first attempt turned out more like a dip, which would have been perfect, if I had wanted a veggie dip. The taste was great, but couldn’t stuff the tomatoes with it, so had to re-do.
