So I just made these, they were so delicious.
I actually only had one tomato and so I stuffed half a red pepper with the rest of the mix, it was really tasty. Yum! Thanks for the recipe.

You know what if you used heirloom tomatoes a gazpacho would be nice in it. Yellow heirlooms with bright red gazpacho. That'd be nummy. Good idea Raw Dance.:)
Harmonylia, curious how it turned out with sunflower seeds...and what did you use for 'cheese'? curiouser and curiouser.

Do you think they'd hold up as raw thicky/creamy soup bowls? I have never used tomatoes as a bowl and am very intrigued. I'd love to make some raw soup and toss it into one. I like your photography skills too ~ off to go check out your profile to see other recipes!
