Slice tomatoes in half. Lay tomato half down flat. Holding the top of the tomato half steady, make a series of horizontal slices. Then, make a series of vertical slices with the same spacing as your horizontal slices.
Dice the tomato to make a series of vertical slices perpendicular to the slices you just made.
