I absolutely love tomatoes, any kind, any size. Being from the South, that includes fried green tomatoes. I created a special summer sandwich to show them off

Ingredients

  • 2 medium green tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup prepared ranch salad dressing
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon snipped fresh dill or 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
  • 2 onion rolls, split
  • 4 cooked bacon strips
  • 2 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves

Instructions:

  1. Begin by slicing each tomato into 4 slices.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and salt. In a separate shallow bowl, pour in the milk.
  3. Dip the tomato slices into the milk, then coat them in the flour mixture, patting to ensure the coating adheres.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomato slices and cook until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes on each side.

  1. Prepare the dressing by mixing salad dressing, green onions, and dill.
  2. To assemble the sandwiches, layer the bottom of the rolls with bacon, lettuce, and the golden brown tomato slices. Spoon the dressing mixture over the tomatoes and top with the roll tops.
