Smoked Trout Salad in Cherry Tomato Cups

Ingredients:

• 1/4 lb. smoked trout
• 2 tbsp. reduced-fat sour cream
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. chopped fresh chives
• freshly ground black pepper
• 30 large cherry tomatoes
• chopped fresh chives for garnish (optional)

Makes 10 (3-piece) Servings

1. Place trout in a medium bowl and break up into small pieces with a fork. Add sour cream, lemon juice, and chives; stir to combine. Season generously with pepper.
2. Using a serrated knife, cut 1/8 inch off the stem end of each tomato and a tiny bit off the bottom so the tomatoes will stand. Remove the seeds using a small melon baller. Fill each hallow tomato with a generous 1/2 teaspoon of the trout salad. Sprinkle each with a few chives, if using, and serve.
