Ingredients
  

  • Tomato TULIPS
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes
  • FILLING:
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened, or creamy goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon Redmond Real salt
  • 3 green onions root ends trimmed, for assembly

Instructions
 

  • Trim the stem end off each tomato with a sharp knife. Then slice
  • each tomato from the top to about three-quarters of the way down
  • (don’t cut all the way through or it won’t stay together as a flower).
  • Turn the tomato and slice it again about three-quarters of the way
  • down so you have four quartered cuts in each tomato. Remove the
  • guts of the tomatoes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the filling. Stir together
  • until well blended.
  • Place the filling in a piping bag or plastic bag with a small hole cut
  • in one corner. Squeeze the filling into each tomato shell.
  • To assemble: Place the trimmed green onions on a serving platter
  • in a fan shape. Place the filled tomatoes at the top part of the green
  • onions to resemble an arrangement of tulips. Enjoy!
