My friend Kyle made these skewers for us one evening and we all loved them. This recipe comes from Myrecipes.com courtesy of Coastal Living. The tomatoes have such a wonderful and sweet flavor when grilled while the white balsamic and kalamata olive vinaigrette is tangy and so flavorful. I look forward to making this recipe again and again.
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tbsp kalamta olives, minced (or olive tapenade)
- 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 2 yellow heirloom tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 orange heirloom tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 red tomatoes, cut in half
Whisk the first six ingredients together in a small bowl until well blended.
Cut tomatoes in half; thread evenly onto 4 skewers. Brush with half of the vinaigrette.
Grill, covered, over medium-high heat (350-400 degrees) for 10 minutes, turning once. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
I love grilled tomatoes when I have had them at restaurants. Thanks for the recipe
YUM – this looks so delicious! With all of the Summer Produce and tomatoes that are just starting to pile up, I can’t wait to enjoy this a few more times over the next few weeks. 🙂
If I make this in the oven or even if it is on an inside grill, do I need to wet the skewers first? Thank you in advance for your reply
Tammy,
It’s a good idea to water down the skewer sticks before grilling so they don’t burn.
