3 hard-cooked eggs 6 medium-sized tomatoes 2 tablespoonfuls minced green pepper (if convenient)
French dressing Boiled salad dressing Lettuce
Cut the tomatoes into sixths, to within a half inch of the bottom. Pour over French dressing and let stand thirty minutes to season. Then fill the centers with the egg, chopped (reserving one yolk) and mixed with the salad dressing. Arrange on lettuce nests, pour over the French dressing that has drained off, and garnish each tomato with the egg yolk, riced, and the green pepper.
