Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. The heat wave has escaped us for now and this recipe is perfect for your outdoor grill. You can use any kind of onion for this recipe. These are not your typical onion rings because they're not covered in batter or fried. Grilled vegetables has a noce flavor to them, especially these onion rings with the heat of the chipotle and tartness of the lime. When you're using an outdoor grill, remember to use a grill topper or grill basket so the onions won't fall through the grate.
