Inspired by: the fried green tomato

I should preface this with the fact that I've never actually tried, or even seen (in person) an actual fried green tomato.
Something I whipped up really quickly when I went home for lunch today. As always, the super supportive, non-vegan hubby "oooh'd" and "aaah'd" at my plate when I brought it out the the patio where he sat waiting.
A recent post over at Fat Free Vegan got me thinking about a raw version of the fried green tomato. This is probably the easiest and most taste-satisfying snack, and I would think and hope that just about anyone who's a fan of the tomato would be willing to try it - raw or not.
I'd like to make a more fancy, slightly more complicated version of this - but for now this works as a perfect, quick and easy meal for one.
Flax&Sunny Parm Coated Tomato
One Tomato, sliced into half in think rounds
Gently push/wipe the seeds away from the tomato
Use either a paper towel, or clean cloth and gently pat the tomato slice so as to remove moisture - do press or squeeze it though - you want a good, firm, stable tomato slice, and a little bit of moisture is okay - just not a sopping wet tomato.
In a small bowl combine:
3 tbsp Sunflower Parm
3 tbsp Golden flaxseed meal
S&P
Mix well.
Set an individual slice of tomato on top of dry mixture - shake the bowl around so the dry ingredients coat the sides of the tomato.
Use a fork to turn the tomato over and coat the other side.
Top with dried or fresh Basil.
Plate with avocado, and eat immediately!
Yum!
