Russian Tomato Salad

Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

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

Directions

• 1 Slice the tomatoes into thick (approx. 3/8\u201d) 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 \u2013 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 \u2013 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 onto 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.
