Russian Tomato Salad

Method

1. I

   Slice the tomatoes into thick (approx. 3/8") slices, and place on a platter. They mostly should not overlap. Save the ends for nibbling.

2. II

   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 - even a little can be strong/spicy.

3. III

   Put some mayo in the corner of a quart Freezer bag (not a snack, sandwich or storage bag - you need a strong bag.) Snip a small corner off the bag. (Fun Idea - could use a frosting tip for fun effects.).

4. IV

   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. V

   Sprinkle liberally with chopped dill. I might also sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
