What’s the best way to scoop the pulp out of cherry tomatoes?
For this recipe, you want the tomatoes to be neatly hollowed out. The best (and cleanest) way to scoop the pulp out of little tomatoes is to use a tomato corer/scooper. It’s a handy gadget to have around, and it works perfectly for hollowing out cherry tomatoes.
How do you get cherry tomatoes to stand up on a platter?
If you place cherry tomatoes on a platter, they’re likely to fall over sideways or roll around when the platter is moved. You don’t want that to happen! If you slice a small piece off the bottom of each tomato, then they will have a base on which to sit. The newly flattened base will help prevent the tomatoes from getting roly poly on the platter.
Refrigerate these beautiful salmon stuffed cherry tomatoes until you are ready to serve them. They’re sure to be a big hit. Enjoy!
