Stuffed Tomato Salad

6 medium or big  size tomatoes ripe

1 cup of cooked liver- beef , or calf, or pork, or chicken

3 cooked carrots

2 stalks of  celery

1 head of  lettuce- Iceberg works fine

1/ 2 cup of  mayonnaise

1 cup of  boiled  salad dressing

Take the big well round tomatoes, peel them aftr you have scalded them with the hot water and scoop out centers of your ripe tomatoes. Take equal parts of  the boiled or  cooked in a deep skillet  liver and carrots. The best they are if fried in the fat drippings. Put the liver and the fried carrots through  the food chopper, and add one cup diced celery into the chopper. Mix well, add a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and stuff  the tomatoes. Place on the crisp and big fresh lettuce leaf, and serve with mayonnaise. For young children is better to use  the boiled salad dressing instead of mayonnaise.  Our   McGregor  side aunt especially loved to serve the liver prepared this way.
