Simply Organic Easy Grilled Heirloom Tomato Salad Recipe Prep

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a rectangular baking dish or large storage bag, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and Grind to a Salt. Add the tomatoes and coat in the vinegar marinade. Set aside for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  2. After 20 minutes, place the tomatoes on 2 to 3 skewers (this step helps organize the grilling process).
  3. Heat the grill. Add the tomatoes to the hot grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side.
  4. Place the greens in a large bowl, add the tomatoes, avocado and cheese.
  5. To make the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and Grind to a Salt (to taste). Pour the desired amount of dressing over the salad.
