Questions

Is Creole Tomato Salad gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Creole Tomato Salad is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the Creole mustard.

How many calories are in Creole Tomato Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 140 calories, with 2 g protein, 7 g carbohydrate and 13 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 320 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Creole Tomato Salad?

It is not a good candidate. Water seeps out of the tomatoes as the salad sits, so keep the dressing apart and toss Creole Tomato Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Creole Tomato Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the tomatoes drops from 4 to 2; doubled, it is 8. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
