Fried Green Tomato Wedges

Submitted by Krsi Sue

"Wedges hold coating better than sliced rounds. Place the cooked wedges on parchment paper to soak up any excess oil. A great dip to have with this is mayonnaise with lime juice and basil mixed in."

I didn't have lime juice and used lemon juice. Oh, my, so good! I can hardly wait to eat another batch. I also used miracle whip with Alpine Touch seasoning ( a mix of salt,garlic & black pepper) Yummmm! Unfortunately I don't have any more green tomatoes.
