I noticed every cracker salad here at RZ called for fresh tomatoes so I figured ... why not ... I'll put in the recipe I was raised on. The other recipes here look good also ... this just happens to be the one I am used to and we dearly love it. It is great as a side-dish with fried chicken, great as an appy stuffed inside little cherry or grape tomatoes, and perfect as a complete lunch when stuffed inside a tomato. Haha ... DH is sitting here now eating it as a dip on top of more saltines. :) Ingredients:
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole tomatoes |
1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed (leave a bit chunky) |
4 tablespoons mayonnaise |
6 large eggs, hard-boiled, chopped |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1 medium bell pepper, chopped (optional ... i love it both ways) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Pour tomatoes (including juice) in a large boil. Using your hands, squeeze each tomatoe through your fingers (be careful you don't squirt the juice on you - I poke each one good with my fingers gently before I commence squeezing) until they look crushed but still chunky. Yes, you can buy already crushed tomatoes but I don't like their texture - almost like a sauce instead of crushed tomatoes.
2. To the tomatoes, add remaining ingredients and stir. If appears to dry for you, add a LITTLE more mayo.
3. Salt and pepper to taste.
4. Tastes just as great either fresh made or after refrigerated.
