About
You'll need a little bit of fire and a little bit of ice to whip up the most thrilling side dish of all time, Fire & Ice Tomatoes! It starts over the fire, or shall we say, the stovetop, as the tangy, sweet, and salty sauce is concocted. The mouth-tingling sauce then is poured over some juicy tomatoes, sweet onions, and crispy cucumbers — now, it's time for the ice! The zesty quadrant chills overnight in the fridge to really soak in every ounce of flavor. After each bite, you'll be glad you used your resources to experience Fire & Ice Tomatoes!
