Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups ripe tomatoes chopped
  • 1 sleeve buttery round crackers roughly crushed
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream optional for extra creaminess
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder optional
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Chop tomatoes into bite-sized pieces and drain excess juice lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Stir in mayonnaise and sour cream until evenly coated.
  4. Gently fold in crushed crackers just before serving.
  5. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top if using.
  6. Serve immediately while crackers stay slightly crisp.
