Ingredients

1 or 2 large fresh tomatoes (enough for 4 thick slices across)
2 tablespoons good quality olive oil, plus more for brushing
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 cups baby spinach
4 slices cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)

Instructions

1. Start the coals or heat a gas grill for medium direct cooking. Make sure the grates are clean.

2. Core the tomatoes and cut 4 thick slices (about 1 inch); save the trimmings. Brush them with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Whisk the 2 tablespoons oil, vinegar, and mustard together in a bowl. Chop the trimmings from the tomatoes; add them to the dressing along with the spinach and toss until evenly coated.

3. Put the tomato slices on the grill directly over the fire. Close the lid and cook for 3 minutes. Turn the tomatoes and top each slice with a slice of cheddar. Close the lid and cook until the cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plates and serve with the salad on top.
