Mango
Strange though it may sound, an unripe
mango can make a great replacement for tomato due to its similarities
in texture and flavor. Unripened a mango is not very sweet and can offer
a sharp tartness that mirrors tomatoes well. Try it in sandwiches,
salads, and salsas!
Gherkins
Gherkins are zingy and fresh, which make them a great substitute for tomatoes in salads and sandwiches.
Umeboshi Paste
This is a paste made from pickled Japanese plums.
It is salty, tangy, and almost sweet in much the same way as tomatoes.
Try adding a little at a time and taste as you go. You can also reduce the salt elsewhere in your recipe to balance out the notable saltiness of this paste.
