Grilled Tomatoes with Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing
Ingredients
2
Minnesota Grown tomatoes, halved crosswise
- Kowalski's Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for brushing the tomatoes
- freshly ground Kowalski's California Sea Salt and Black Peppercorns, to taste
- Kowalski's Signature Fresh Steakhouse Blue Salad Dressing (from the Produce Department), to taste
- chopped fresh Minnesota Grown Italian parsley, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat; clean grill grates.
- Lightly brush cut sides of tomatoes with oil; season with salt and pepper.
- Grill tomatoes cut-side down until dark grill marks form and tomatoes release easily from the grill grates (3-4 min.).
- Flip tomatoes; cook until warm and beginning to soften on the bottom (2-3 min., depending on ripeness).
- Place tomatoes on a serving plate(s). Drizzle with dressing; garnish with parsley.
- Season tomatoes with additional pepper to taste; serve immediately.
Tasty Tips:
- Most produce, especially fruit, tastes best at room temperature. We recommend storing tomatoes outside your fridge or at least letting them sit on the counter for a few hours before eating.
- Minnesota Grown products are fresher by miles, which is why we recommend them in this recipe. When local options are unavailable, fresh produce grown elsewhere may be used.
Nutrition Note:
- Lycopene and vitamin C are among the key nutrients found in tomatoes. Lycopene has been shown to prevent sun damage and may protect against wrinkles. That's good news for your summer skin!
