How to Dice a Tomato
The key to slicing fresh tomatoes evenly and cleanly is to use a very sharp knife.
Equipment
- Cutting board
- Chef's knife
Materials
- Tomatoes
Instructions
- Lay the seeded tomato halves cut-side down on your cutting board.
- Slice the fruit into ½ inch thick lengths.
- Turn your knife and slice ½ inch pieces in the other direction, making ½ inch dice cuts.
Notes
I prefer to remove the tomato seeds and peels before adding the tomatoes to the recipe.
