Russian Tomato Salad

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• tomato (homegrown or other tasty)
• 1 -2 garlic clove (optional)
• mayonnaise
• fresh dill, chopped coarsely
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 slice the tomatoes into thick (approx. 3/8â€?) slices, and place on a platter. they mostly should not overlap. save the ends for nibbling.
• 2 if using garlic, discard the center green shoot, and finely chop the garlic. rub it over the tops of the tomato slices. i personally like the garlic, but i go easy – even a little can be strong/spicy.
• 3 put some mayo in the corner of a quart freezer bag (not a snack, sandwich or storage bag – you need a strong bag.) snip a small corner off the bag. (fun idea - could use a frosting tip for fun effects.).
• 4 this is the fun part :-) squeeze the mayo attractively the tomatoes. i use ribbons, stripes, swirls, etc. nina used lots of mayo, but you can use as much or little as you like.
• 5 sprinkle liberally with chopped dill. i might also sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
