We had an early frost so I had many large tomatoes ripening on the window sills. Several ripened at once and needed to be used so we created this recipe on the fly. We liked it. Try it and tell us what you think.

Notes
Using green celery adds flavor and a bit of crunch. The red onion adds a tad of heat. If you don’t want the mustard taste, use a bit of plain mayo with a dash of balsamic vinegar.

- 2 oz pepper jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 or 2 Tbsp Honey Mustard Dressing

Instructions
- Slice and dice tomatoes.
- Add celery sliced thin, and red onion.
- Add about 1/4 cup of the shredded pepper jack cheese.

- Microwave 1 to 2 minutes or just until pepper jack cheese begins to melt.
