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.

Grilled Green Tomatoes Caprese

olive oil

white balsamic vinegar

garlic cloves,

brown sugar

salt

green tomatoes,

mozzarella cheese

salt and pepper

basil

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add tomatoes, seal, and shake gently to coat. Chill 1 hour.


Preheat grill to 350&deg; to 400&deg; (medium-high) heat. Remove tomatoes from marinade, reserving marinade. Grill tomatoes, covered with grill lid, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until tender and grill marks appear.


Arrange alternating slices of warm grilled tomatoes and mozzarella cheese on a large, shallow platter. Drizzle with reserved marinade; season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with basil.


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 &amp; a tsp of salt to the marinade.  Definitely a keeper.

This recipe is awesome!  I used it in a "Guys Who Grill" fundraising event and won the "Mr. Originality" award.  I used red tomatoes, cooking them for about 5 minutes on one side, flipped them, put cheese on and grilled for another 2 minutes to slightly warm the cheese!  Very tastey!!

These are terrific!  So fresh and flavorful. I did not have the white balsamic - used the regular. Still great. Easy to prepare.

I bought the white balsamic vinegar for this recipe and it still tasted too "vinegary".  Think I'd use less next time.  Otherwise, really yummy!!

These were a great hit at a dinner party tonight from the adults down to my toddlers!  Fantastic balance of flavor and extremely quick and easy!
