Danablu Tomatoes

Danablu Tomatoes

Ingredients:

4 firm medium tomatoes

1 large apple (I prefer to use Granny Smith) -- chopped, unpeeled

4 - 5 green olives, pimento-stuffed -- chopped

¾ -1 stalk celery -- minced

¼ pound blue cheese (preferably Danablu) -- crumbled

¼ - ½ cup mayonnaise (you can adjust this amount to your preference)

parsley, fresh -- chopped

Method:

1.      Cut ¼" slice off top of tomato to make lid.

2.      Scoop center flesh and seeds into sieve and press through. Retain tomato juice/flesh. Discard seeds.

3.      Invert tomato shells and drain 10 minutes.

4.      Mix apples, olives, celery, and blue cheese. Fill tomatoes. Stir 2 tablespoons sieved tomato into mayonnaise. Top each tomato with a dollop. Replace lids.

5.      Garnish with whole fresh parsley leaves or any type of edible flower that suits your menu.

For a different twist, you can always add chopped bacon to the filling or sprinkle on top!
