What You Need

tomatillos (1 lb.), cut in half

small onion, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices

small serrano chiles

cloves garlic, unpeeled

1/4

cup KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing

tilapia fillets (2 lb.)

Tbsp. olive oil

1/2

cup KRAFT Light Mayo Reduced Fat Mayonnaise

Make It

HEAT grill to medium heat.

THREAD tomatillos, onions, chiles and garlic onto skewers; brush with dressing. Grill 10 to 12 min. or until vegetables are tender, turning after 6 min. Meanwhile, brush fish with oil. Add to grill; cook 3 min. on each side or until fish flakes easily with fork.

REMOVE ingredients from skewers. Peel garlic; chop finely. Mix 1/3 of the garlic with mayo in small bowl. Remove stems from chiles; finely chop chiles. Stir half the chiles into mayo mixture; set aside. Chop tomatillos and onions; place in separate small bowl. Add remaining garlic and chiles; mix well.

SERVE fish topped with tomatillo and mayo mixtures.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Buy Fresh Fish

Look for fillets with a firm texture, moist appearance and mild smell. Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator up to 2 days.

How to Ensure Even Grilling

For best results, place halved tomatillos, flat-sides down, on cutting board. Thread skewers through tomatillos and other ingredients, leaving space between pieces to ensure even grilling.

Serving Suggestion

Serve with hot cooked rice and a mixed greens and tomato salad.
