Rice Salad in Tomato Cups image

I created this recipe for a contest a long time ago. With an abundance of tomatoes in our garden each year, I had to come up with something new. I serve this as a side dish or lively lunch.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover rice. I also added some chopped cucumber and red onion for extra crunch.
