How to Make Antarctica Salad
- In a food processor or blender, combine 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy), 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste). Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully cut the tops off 4 medium-sized tomatoes and gently scoop out the pulp and seeds, leaving about a 1/4-inch thick shell.
- Fill each tomato shell generously with the cream cheese peanut mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly.
- Serve the chilled stuffed tomatoes on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra chopped celery or a sprinkle of paprika for an extra touch.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
