Yesterday was our traditional grilling holiday. Now that it's the heat of summer, you might as well take advantage and keep the heat outside of the kitchen!
Fruit is not something traditionally thought of as a grilling food, but it is a great accompaniment to grilled meats.
I Googled"grilled fruit" recipes to get you started thinking. Many of the recipes have some sort of sweetened glaze, but I think if you have fruit that is truly ripe, you can often get away without adding sweetener.
The photo in today's blog is of the Grilled Watermelon Tomato Salad that was featured in today's New York Times. It's worth reading the blog post, which I've linked to with the recipe below.
Whatever is in season, it gives grilling a reason!
