Tomato Time
I love tomatoes and have been blessed by some favorite people giving me lots of them. Of course I love the tomato sandwich. Using dense bread, like sourdough, good mayo and good tomatoes. I slice the tomatoes, put on a paper towel covered plate, salt and leave them to drain a bit. Toasting the bread, slathering mayo and putting the drained tomatoes on top, a little pepper and ready to assemble.
Another favorite is tomato cracker salad. My grandmother used to make this often since we always had an abundance of them. This does not keep so you should eat it soon after assembly.
4 medium size tomatoes
¾ cup mayo
1 sleeve saltine cracker, coarsely broken
Salt and pepper
Seed and coarsely chop the tomatoes. In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes and mayonnaise. Add the broken crackers and toss lightly to coat. Add salt and generous amounts of black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
