Tomato-and-Roquefort Salad a la Gimo Salade de Tomate au Roquefort , a la Gimo Select small tomatoes, hard and solid — one for each person. Put them in hot water, remove skins — carefully, so as not to cut the tomato in any way; cut a quarter out of each — from the top down (be careful not to separate the tomatoes at the bottom). Put them on a broiler and glaze with tomato glaze that is colored with a little red coloring, sprinkle with little parsley on each side, then fill with Roquefort cheese and garnish with truffles and green peppers — put strips on a bias. Put the tomatoes on lettuce leaves on a platter; garnish with lettuce leaves all around in circular style, and with a nice crisp white head of lettuce in the centre and some French dressing over the lettuce. Serve with toasted crackers for luncheon, dinner, or supper, as a salad. Philadelphian cream cheese can be used in the same way instead of the Roquefort cheese; it is then called Tomate au Fromage a la Creme de Philadelphie a la Gimo. If with American cheese, it is then called Tomate au Fromage a la Creme d’Amerique a la Gimo. Filling. For six tomatoes take half a pound of Roquefort cheese, two tablespoons butter, pepper, salt, and two tablespoons whipped cream
