Grilled fruit salad is a perfect blend of summer flavors, where the natural sweetness of fresh fruits is enhanced by the smoky caramelization from the grill. This dish is a delightful mix of warm, juicy fruits with a touch of char, making it a great side for barbecues or a refreshing dessert. You can use a variety of fruits like pineapple, peaches, and watermelon, which hold up well on the grill. Drizzled with honey and topped with a sprinkle of fresh mint or a dollop of yogurt, this salad is a crowd-pleaser that’s both healthy and indulgent.
Ingredients:
- 1 pineapple, peeled and cut into rings
- 2 peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 watermelon, cut into thick wedges
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Optional: Greek yogurt or whipped cream for serving
Instructions:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Prepare the fruits: Brush the pineapple rings, peach halves, and watermelon wedges lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the fruits: Place the fruit on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the fruit begins to caramelize.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together honey and lime juice.
- Assemble the salad: Remove the grilled fruits from the grill and let them cool slightly. Slice them into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle and garnish: Drizzle the honey-lime dressing over the fruit, and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve warm with a side of yogurt or whipped cream if desired.
Enjoy this smoky-sweet grilled fruit salad as a unique summer dish!
