“I created this recipe for a contest a long time ago. With an abundance of tomatoes in our garden each year, I had to come up with something new. I serve this as a side dish or lively lunch.”

* 1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
* 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
* 1 tablespoon chopped celery
* 1 tablespoon chopped onion
* 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
* 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
* 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
* Dash pepper
* 2 medium tomatoes

DIRECTIONS
