Fresh Tomato Recipe with Grilled Onion and Basil
This tomato recipe is by far one of the most versatile side dish recipes around. | When in season, tomatoes are a flavorful way to get many of your daily vitamin requirements. To make this in advance simply grill the onions the day before you plan to serve this salad recipe. Actually, the onions can be either roasted or sauteed just as well. A new twist on this recipe is to add other vegetables that you may have on hand, or fresh from your garden. Broccoli works very well with this dish, as does fresh or frozen corn kernels, which add a new dimension to this healthy side dish recipe. |
Hint: If you want to add fresh corn, it is easy to grill the corn, wrapped in foil, as you grill the onions.
