VALENTINE’S DAY RECIPES
Serve up these fun Heart Shaped Tomatoes for Valentine’s Day this year. They are so easy to make and add some colorful fun to your Valentine’s Day Salad.
I also shredded a couple of long carrots into a heart shape and then sliced them and tossed them into a green salad. They could not be easier to make. All I did to make the heart carrots was peel the carrot.
HEART SHAPE
After slicing off the ends, I took the top of my vegetable peeler and drug the tip of it along one side of the carrot. It dug a trough off of the carrot. Then I sliced the carrot into slices and shaped the bottom into a point by cutting off a little of each side.
To make the heart shaped tomatoes, I simply took some grape tomatoes and cut off about 1/4 of the tomato at about a 45 degree angle. This part you will just need to eyeball and see how and where to cut your tomato so that when two are placed together, they will form a heart. Then I took a toothpick and some cut pieces of paper to make an arrow to pierce the tomato. Glue the “quiver” of the arrow to the end of the toothpick.
