Southern Tomato Cracker Salad
This classic tomato cracker salad has been around a very long time. If you've never tried it, you are in for a real treat. Such an old fashioned recipe.
Servings: 5 cups
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers crushed
- 1 14.5 ounccan diced tomatoes, undrained (I use fresh tomatoes in summer
- 1/4 cup onion chopped (can use green onions)
- 1/4 cup green pepper chopped
- 5 eggs boiled, peeled and chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the crackers together in a bowl. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Right before you serve, add the crushed crackers and serve on a lettuce bed. Makes about 5 cups of salad.
Notes
You can easily add celery, shrimp, cooked chicken, bacon, olives, etc. Very versatile dish. Some people prefer to add the crackers at the time you serve it while others think it is better after it sits a bit. I personally love it either way.
