Ingredients: 2
tomatoes,
3 1/2 to 4 in. wide, 12 oz. ea.
1/3
cup
mayonnaise 1
tablespoon
white wine vinegar 2
teaspoons
dried tarragon 8
ounces
crab,

cup
frozen peas,

1/2
cup
chopped celery 2
tablespoons
minced shallots,
rinsed
salt and pepper 2
butter lettuce leaves,

Directions:
1.
Rinse tomatoes. Cut 1/2 in off the top of each and reserve. With a spoon, carefully scoop out seeds and inner flesh, leaving a shell 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick; reserve interiors for another use. Set tomato shells and lids, cut side down, on a paper towel.
2.
In a large bowl, mix mayonnaise, vinegar, and tarragon until smooth. Add crab, peas, celery, and shallots; mix gently to coat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3.
Line each of two salad plates with a lettuce leaf. If tomatoes do not sit flat, trim bottoms slightly, as needed. Mound tarragon crab salad in tomato cups and set on lettuce leaves. Garnish with tomato lids and tarragon sprigs if desired.
