Tomato Cracker Salad

 

A few things to keep in mind…

This dish is best served immediately.  The water content of the tomatoes and the mayo turn this dish soggy fast, so I like to make this at the absolute last minute.  But it’s super quick to toss together, so that’s not usually a problem.

Sometimes I’ll cut up my tomatoes and spread them out on paper towels just to allow them to wick a little moisture out to buy a little more time.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium garden-fresh tomatoes
• 3/4 cup mayo
• 1 sleeve saltine crackers, coarsely broken (they even sell gluten free)
• salt
• pepper

Instructions

• Seed and coarsely chop the tomatoes.  In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes and and mayonnaise.  Add the broken crackers and toss lightly to coat.  Add salt and generous amounts of black pepper to taste.  Serve immediately.
