Behind the Recipe: Tomato Cracker Salad

[@jtutschulte311]

I've made this with the seeds. I can't describe how much I loved it. I could eat the whole bowl and nothing else. You have to try this to know how good it is.

I made "Georgia Cracker" salad, and it was awesome

[@amymcdonald3289]

Looks yummy, I'm gonna make this today😋

When I was growing up in South Georgia in the 60's we had this with fried fish hush puppies and coleslaw. The recipe we used had sweet pickle relish, boiled eggs. chopped onion, canned diced stewed tomatoes (with the juice), mayo and Saltines. Mmmmmm, so good! He's right, too, about Saltines being the best. We tried it with Ritz crackers once and they just didn't taste right.

No sweets um, my old Southern grandma made both tomato pie and tomato cake. Despite the way they sound they were good!

I recall having Tomato bread pudding.

You had me at ....”if you like tomato sandwiches”.....

[@gelusvenn5063]

Right? Tomato sammiches are phenomenal, if there's any one thing I am glad to have lived in Georgia to pick up, it's tomato sandwiches.

Next time, i'm gonna try it with cilantro

[@DonnaR5]

I add green onions and cheese, and oh so good

[@phil2u48]

Mmmmmm. Duke’s !

[@greta9599]

The only mayo I buy!

[@rhondanelson2669]

I wonder if cucumber would be a good addition to ot?

[@Southernbite]

Rhonda Nelson Sure!

[@barbaracidmswcswcssw7126]

I beg to differ in Cuba tomatoes are made into a sweet dish. They cook it down with sugar and other ingredients and form a sweet dish called “Dulce de Tomate” and it’s eaten with cream cheese and crackers. God bless and have a great day.

[@liddybird3608]

Tomatoes are both fruits and vegetables! Fruit is the botanical category describing the part of the plant it comes from, but vegetable is a culinary category, as well as being a general term describing anything that's a plant. Think of the twenty question game where you ask if something is animal, vegetable, or mineral. There are several vegetables that are also fruits, like squashes, cucumbers, and okra. Pea pods. Bean pods. Green beans. Etc.

Add tuna or chicken to make it a healthy meal!

That kid was not six...more like 13

[@hummerklein2567]

I new you was the kid ! My momma was born in Louisville Ky. But will someone tell me what’s up with a glass of saltines and milk and pepper, please anyone ?

[@Elaineeec]

My mom served buttermilk with pepper and crushed saltines or cornbread. Awesome combo just like this tomato salad. For those who swore they didn't like buttermilk they could have milk instead. Just a delicious snack when the milk was ice cold.

[@theresalee108]

My Mother would have leftover biscuits or cornbread in a glass of buttermilk. Memories!

[@cblaylock7029]

What happened to the green onions and eggs?

[@Southernbite]

C Blaylock My family has never added green onions or eggs.

[@gleamtarrest6310]

Mmmmmhhhmmm

[@davidcanter2376]

Store bought tomatoes are not really tomatoes

[@Southernbite]

They certainly aren't the same!
