How to Dice Roma Tomatoes with Chef Celeste

I love the idea of making a video on how to chop and dice tomatoes because, like the onion, most people are clueless on how to properly chop a tomato. There's nothing nicer than perfectly cubed little tomato pieces in a dish as opposed to crazy looking pieces.

Presentation is EVERYTHING! You don't want to make a tasty meal but have it looking ugly, do you? A little effort goes a long way when it comes to details when cooking.

Therefore, I’m here with a delicious Roma tomato to show you how to chop a tomato properly and also share the main secret for successful tomato chopping: a firm tomato and a knife that's nice and sharp.

Another trick I learned with Rachael Ray is, once you've halved the tomato, start slicing it with the flat side up, from the meaty middle, as opposed to the skin side up. This will give you a better grip and a better chop.

Hope this helps!
