Do’s & Don’ts
Or otherwise known as;   " How my Russian Wife splained it to me"

The tomatoes were not chopped but sliced.  I also noticed this is how they were prepared in Russian restaurants.  Make sure your tomatoes are fresh and firm, but not green.  Roma tomatoes are very good for this dish.

If you use the Cucumber, you may want to peel it first.

Eat while fresh.  After a day or 2 it is not as good.

Serving Suggestions: 

Will serve 2-4 servings.  It all depends on how much you put on the plate.  Served as a salad with lunch or dinner or just a refreshing midday snack. 

Try serving with some sour cream or your favorite Ranch Dressing!
