2 large, ripe tomatoes
2 T mashed avocado
2 T mashed parsley  
2 T mashed celery
2 T chopped pecans
4-6 bibb lettuce leaves
or 2 C alfalfa sprouts

Cut the top lid off from the tomatoes. Scoop out the pulp and drain off the juice. Put the pulp and juice in a bowl and mix with the avocado, parsley, and celery. Fill the tomato bowls with the mixture. Top with a T of the chopped pecans, and place on top of the lettuce leaves, or use the sprouts as a bed. For 2 bowls. For more flavor, mash a pinch of cayenne and kelp onto the avocado. Radish sprouts also add zest.
