Old-Fashioned So. Georgia Cracker Salad (Extremely Easy)
"I noticed every cracker salad here at RZ called for fresh tomatoes so I figured ... why not ... I'll put in the recipe I was raised on. The other recipes here look good also ... this just happens to be the one I am used to and we dearly love it. It is great as a side-dish with fried chicken, great as an appy stuffed inside little cherry or grape tomatoes, and perfect as a complete lunch when stuffed inside a tomato. Haha ... DH is sitting here now eating it as a dip on top of more saltines. :)"

- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
3-4 pints
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can whole tomatoes
- 1 sleeve saltine crackers, crushed (leave a bit chunky)
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium bell pepper, chopped (optional ... I love it both ways)
- salt and pepper
directions
- Pour tomatoes (including juice) in a large boil. Using your hands, squeeze each tomatoe through your fingers (be careful you don't squirt the juice on you -- I poke each one good with my fingers gently before I commence squeezing) until they look crushed but still chunky. Yes, you can buy already crushed tomatoes but I don't like their texture -- almost like a sauce instead of crushed tomatoes.
- To the tomatoes, add remaining ingredients and stir. If appears to dry for you, add a LITTLE more mayo.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Tastes just as great either fresh made or after refrigerated.

Sorry, this just wasn't to our taste. I guess southwestern PA isn't down south enough! -
Delicious, Moonchild! Mine doesn't quite look like *Tink*'s, but I think that is because I used a little more mayo than she did. I'm sure you know how we southerners like our mayo! Too bad I couldn't make it with Duke's, but it never quite made it out West! Thnx for sharing your recipe. It was certainly enjoyed, and tasted even better the next day! -
Um um good!

We had never made this before and my son loved it. Of everything that I made for dinner this is the one that I thought would not go over well. This is the one that was most liked. Tip for poking a hole in the tomato is great. -
This was very good even hubby liked it thanks

I'm a Southern Gal ... Georgia born and raised. I have 3 wonderful grown children and 4 totally delightful g-babes (they call me Ya-ya).
I love to cook and try new dishes. I am mostly a So. Ga. country cook hough I refuse to deep fry anything. Instead, I oven fry a good bit and mostly I bake.
I just bought myself a bread machine (found it brand new ... never been opened ... at a Goodwill store for only $24.00 !!! Good deal! The recipes in the booklet were awful so I searched for more and found, not only a great roll recipe, but I also discovered the wonderful world of RecipeZaar!
I do believe I am really going to like this place!
