TOMATO SALAD
6 tomatoes
1 head of lettuce
Mayonnaise
Select tomatoes of good shape and color. Peel and cut 3 thin slices off the top of each tomato and arrange on lettuce on salad plates. Cover slices and top of tomato with mayonnaise (see [page 14]); sprinkle with paprika.
If desired, the inside of the tomato may be scooped out and the cup sprinkled with salt. Then invert and chill; when ready to serve add a chicken filling made by combining 1 cup chopped chicken, ½ cup diced celery, and ⅓ cup nuts with mayonnaise. Or a vegetable filling may be made by combining diced tomato, ¾ cup of diced celery, ⅓ cup nuts, and ½ cup chopped olives or sweet pickles with mayonnaise. Serves 6.
