Serving grilled fruit with fresh fruit not only makes a great-looking combination, but also provides two layers of flavor.

Ingredients

  • canola oil cooking spray

  • 1/4 cup 60 ml raspberry blush vinegar

  • 1 tbsp 15 ml sugar

  • 1 tbsp 15 ml canola oil

  • 1-2 tsp 5 -10 ml grated fresh ginger

  • 2 2 slices fresh pineapple, about 1/2-inch thick, or two medium peaches, pitted and halved

  • 4 cups 1 l loosely packed spinach

  • 1/4 cup 60 ml thinly sliced red onion

  • 1 cup 250 ml quartered strawberries

Directions

  • Coat grill or grill pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat.
  • Combine vinegar, sugar, canola oil, and ginger in a small jar, secure lid tightly, and shake vigorously until completely blended. Place pineapple slices or peach halves on plate; drizzle 1 Tbsp (15 mL) vinegar mixture evenly over both sides.
  • Place pineapple or peaches on grill rack and grill 4 minutes or until soft and slightly browned. Turn and cook 4 minutes or until heated through. Cut fruit into bite-size pieces.
  • Place spinach and onion on a serving platter. Top with grilled fruit, sprinkle strawberries evenly on top, and drizzle remaining dressing over all.

Notes

  • Fresh tip: Be creative on the grill. Try nectarines, pears, or even orange slices. Brushing the fruits with a small amount of canola will prevent them from sticking to the grill. If raspberry blush vinegar is unavailable, regular raspberry vinegar may be substituted.
