Seeding TomatoesSummer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

I cut it in 1/2 and used red peppers instead of green peppers. Most of my friends can't eat green peppers because they stay with us and the red one don't. Everyone loved it

I made this for my parent's 40th party and it was a hit. Everybody loved it, except it made a lot of servings. We had 35 people and still had half the salad left. Next time will cut the recipe in half.
