Chef's notes
These grilled tomatoes are fantastic on their own, but they’re even better with a few simple seasonings to jazz them up. Try serving them with drizzles of Italian dressing, fresh herbs, and grated Parmesan or vegan Parmesan cheese. We also love them with Greek dressing, crumbled feta, and fresh mint as well as squeezes of lemon juice, olive oil, and za’atar. You could even turn them into a riff on Caprese salad by drizzling them with balsamic vinegar and dotting them with fresh mozzarella and little basil leaves. The options are endless!
