Georgia Cracker Salad

Think of it as the salad you throw together when tomatoes are ripe on the counter and you need something fresh, creamy, and crunchy in a hurry. It’s a potluck standby across the South, and Paula Deen helped make the tomato-and-saltine version popular for Southern home cooks.

 


Ingredients:

1 sleeve of saltine crackers

1 large tomato or 2 large Roma tomatoes (seed the tomato and drain on paper towels for a few minutes)

3 green onions, finely chopped (white and green part)

1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

Pepper

Mayo 

Directions:  

Crush the crackers with your hands into a medium mixing bowl. You want to have some big cracker pieces for texture.  Think rustic. 

Combine  the ingredients except the mayo and stir well.

Add the mayo a 1/2 cup at a time until is reaches your desired consistency. You want the ingredients to be just coated. 

Season with pepper. The saltines add enough salt, so taste before you add anymore salt.
