Tomato Cups
(fits into the category of raw food)
Idea was found on: http://www.living-foods.com
You want about 1/2 as many tomatoes as people will be there. So I probably should have made 3 instead of 6 (I always make too much food and pawn it off to people at work)
For 6 people:
Take 3 medium tomatoes. You can experiment with various sizes or flavors (cherry would be good but small) for different effects, but this is how I did it.
Cut the tomatoes in half. Use a spoon (a grapefruit spoon would probably have worked great, if I had one) to scoop out the innards of the tomato, leaving a centimeter or two thick shell. If its much thinner, you won't get much taste except for the tomato. Keep the innards.
Chop the following:
Tomato innards
1/2 of a small sized cucumber
1 celery stick
1 green onion
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup cilantro or parsley
1 tbsp mint (fresh, not dried)
1 clove garlic (actually chopped, pressed won't work right)
Combine in a bowl and add:
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
