Ingredients
- 20 pieces saltine crackers
- 2 large ripe tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dice the tomatoes into small pieces. Place the diced tomatoes on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
Slice the green onions finely and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, crush the saltine crackers into small, bite-sized pieces. Do not pulverize them into crumbs; the pieces should still be distinguishable for texture.
Step 4
Add the diced tomatoes and sliced green onions to the crushed crackers in the bowl.
Step 5
Stir in the mayonnaise, ensuring that all the ingredients are coated evenly. Add more mayonnaise if the mixture feels too dry.
Step 6
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste. Gently mix to combine.
Step 7
Transfer the cracker salad to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately for the best texture, as the crackers will soften over time.
