This side really sparks up a meal and goes fairly well with everything from grilled steak to tuna salad. I like to serve it in individual, lettuce-lined glass bowls with a sour cream star piped on top and a sprinkling of dill.—Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas

Slicing Up Tomatoes for Salads

Fresh tomatoes sliced vertically rather than horizontally will stay firmer in your salad and help keep the dressing from getting watery. —Ruby W., Bogalusa, Louisiana
