If you are lucky enough to have a ton of garden tomatoes and are looking for something new to make with them, give this one a try.
This is an, albeit odd, but very tasty and easy snack. I have no idea where it came from or how it came about. I just always remember my Mom making them. When I first made them my husband made such fun of me said it had to be a "Tennessee thing". But, he is a huge fan now. At our house we jokingly call them mates and cracks.
The recipe (if you can even call it that) is 4 ingredients:
- Mayo
- Saltine Crackers
- Tomatoes (I prefer Roma tomatoes)
- Salt
Roma tomatoes are the perfect cracker size, but any kind works. All you do is slice up the tomatoes. Then spread mayo on a saltine. Stack a tomato on the saltine and sprinkle a little salt on the tomato. You can either enjoy as a kind of open face tomato cracker sandwich or stack another cracker on top.
Enjoy!
