If you're used to grilling only chicken, burgers, and steak, you're in for a real treat with this salad. Grilling brings out the sweetness in fruits, and it is an unusual and easy alternative to raw fruit salad. The fruit may be grilled on an outdoor grill, on a grill pan, or under the broiler. The juicier the fruit, the sweeter the taste, because of the caramelization that grilling creates. Fruit grills quickly, so be sure to watch it and turn it often.

  •  1 tablespoon canola oil
  •  1 small pineapple, quartered and cored
  •  4 large nectarines, pitted and halved
  • 2 cups halved strawberries
  •  1 cup blueberries

YOGURT-HONEY DRESSING:

  •  1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt, preferably greek
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

 

  1. Dressing: Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Salad: Prepare a medium-hot grill or grill pan or preheat the broiler. Rub the oil all over the pineapple and nectarines. Grill or broil the fruit, turning once, until grill marks appear and the fruit is slightly softened: about 8 minutes for the nectarines and 15 minutes for the pineapple (you won't get grill marks if you broil). Let the fruit cool completely.
  3. When cool, cut the fruit into 1-inch pieces, capturing any juices. Transfer the fruit and its juices to a large bowl. Add the strawberries, blueberries, and dressing. Toss gently and serve immediately.
