Tossing your tomatoes on the grill is a simply delicious way to savor this summer favorite! Start with a firmer variety of tomato that can stand up to a little heat without falling apart and make your slices thick or even just halve medium-size tomatoes. The preparation is simple, the grill time is quick, and the flavor is incredible – a win-win-win on the grill. Once prepared, these grilled tomatoes are fantastic in so many ways. Add fresh chopped green onions to make a simple side dish, add them to a full grilled veggie platter for a pop of color, toss with pasta and basil for a rustic sauce or serve right on top of chicken or fish with an extra sprinkle of cracked black pepper. Enjoy!
