Tomato Salad

Pour boiling water over the required number of tomatoes, then drain them and remove the skins; leave until quite cold, then divide into sections. Put the tomatoes into a salad-bowl, garnish with chopped tarragon leaves, pour a plain dressing of oil and vinegar seasoned with salt and pepper over them, and serve. A mayonnaise dressing can be used in place of a plain dressing, if preferred.
