Fried Green Tomatoes | Remoulade Sauce | Quick and Easy Recipe
Serious Eats / Robby Lozano
In the summer I love using juicy perfectly ripe red tomatoes raw in salads tomato-mayonnaise caprese sandwiches and—my summertime staple—gazpacho.

I grew up in North Carolina where crispy cornmeal-breaded fried green tomatoes are the star of the spring and fall tomato season. But I didn’t begin to appreciate this brilliant use for unripe tomatoes until about 10 years ago when I was growing a rooftop garden in Brooklyn and was faced with a late fall crop that just wouldn’t ripen on the vine.
