I thought this was excellent. Great flavor. I also used the marinade with yellow squash and zuchinni. I never used the mozzarella as this made a wonderful side dish.. Added more garlic & a tsp of salt to the marinade. Definitely a keeper.
Grilled Green Tomatoes Caprese
Ciao, y'all! Green tomatoes go from the frying pan into the fire with a Southern-Italian twist. Using white (rather than brown) balsamic vinegar in the marinade brightens the color of the grilled tomatoes, but the salad's flavor is extraordinary with either.
