Yum!! My mom used to make this. We'd eat it on the screened porch with our towels wrapped around us, still wet from being in the pool. Mama would slice a tomato into wedges, fan it out in the shape of a bowl, and stuff it with seafood salad. Squeeze a little lemon on top and put a few triscuits on the side, and we had a wonderful refreshing summer snack that I still crave whenever it's hot out, especially if I've been pool-side.
During this stage of my pregnancy, while I haven't had any specific cravings, and certainly no weird combinations, I have craved refreshing things. Juice, clementines, grapefruits, anything refreshing. Today I decided I would really love a seafood stuffed tomato. My first in the winter, I'm sure. I decided to make my own seafood salad this time just to spoil myself a little extra. This was so easy, I highly recommend trying to make this yourself if seafood salad is something you enjoy.
Seafood Salad
1/2 c mayo (preferably dukes)
1 tsp skim milk
1/2 tsp white vinegar
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/3 green pepper, finely chopped
8oz imitation crabmeat, flaked
In a bowl, mix together the first seven ingredients. Add the celery, green pepper, crabmeat and combine. Slice a tomato into thin wedges and serve with the seafood salad, a little extra lemon juice squeezed over your plate. I like to alternate using the tomato as a "cracker" and putting the crabmeat on a triscuit. This really hit the spot today. :)
