Want an easy way to add a little punch to your otherwise humdrum fruit salad? Just add some heat.
In this case, we tossed pineapple rings on the grill for just 4 to 5 minutes per side. The intense heat of the flames caramelizes the natural sugars of the pineapple and adds a smoky char. Once the pineapple rings come off the grill and cool a bit, they can be chopped and tossed with all the usual fruit salad suspects.
Want to take it even further? Thickly sliced peaches and nectarines also could be grill and added to this salad. And for additional non-grilled items, consider tossing in some blueberries and grapes. We like the peppery bite of torn fresh basil, but mint also would be good.
