Jada Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried green tomatoes are terrific as a snack on their own. They are also a wonderful accompaniment to macaroni and cheese, or with shrimp cocktail and a green salad for a light dinner. Or, for a different spin on a Caprese salad, layer them with fresh mozzarella, basil and ripe tomatoes with a drizzle of good olive oil, a splash of sherry vinegar and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. The Jada Turmeric Chicken Salt perfectly seasons the flour that the green tomatoes are dredged in, resulting in a flavorful, golden crust. For a zesty sauce to serve with the fried green tomatoes, try a mixing some sour cream with a bit of the Jada Lime Chicken Salt and Jada Red Pepper Chicken Salt.
