The mystery to finely dicing a tomato is to go away the stem quit intact and area it at the chopping board. Thinly slice one way, then the different method – but don’t cut all of the method down! Leave the backside stem quit intact- if that makes sense. Then turn the tomato on its side, and slice downward. But this methodology makes dicing a tomato sooooooooo a lot easier!
