    This light dinner is just the thing for an end-of-the summer evening. In minutes, thin cutlets get lemony taste from a quick marinade and smokiness from the hot grill. To complete the meal, serve with our Corn and Radish Salad.

      This is a really nice summer recipe. It`s nice not to have to marinade the dish before hand so you can have your meal on the table in no time! Really nice served up with fresh salad. Mmmmm.
