Instructions
Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
WEDGES: Cut a small sliver off the bottom and place the bottom down so the tomato is flat against your cutting board. Cut the tomato in half and lay the tomato flesh side down. Cut into smaller wedges, 3 to 4 wedges per half.
DICED: Cut a small portion from the top and bottom of the tomato, so it is flat on both sides. Then cut in half again and continue to make parallel cuts until you get your desired size pieces. Rotate and make equally size cuts.
SLICED: Place the tomato on its side, carefully take a small sliver off the bottom and discard. Use your knife to cut a ⅓ inch slice off the tomatoes. Repeat this until you reach the top of the tomato. You can discard the top pieces or remove the stem and use it in your salad.
CHERRY TOMATOES: To cut cherry tomatoes, place them on the cutting board between your index and thumb. Cut it in half by sliding your knife through it.
Notes
Store your cut tomatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
