LIVE FOR THE GRILL

Get creative! Go beyond the norm and try these interesting grillables:
  1. Fruit Salad – Brush halved and pitted peaches, nectarines and plums with olive oil and grill, cut into chunks and toss with fresh orange juice and zest.
  2. Quesadillas – Layer your favorite fixin’s between two tortillas, lightly oil on top and bottom and grill until melted and golden brown; dollop with guacamole.
  3. Bread – Grill thick slices of ciabatta or sourdough, drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and red pepper flakes.
  4. Avocados – Brush peeled and pitted avocado halves with oil, grill over high heat until just charred, and top with chopped tomatoes and fresh lime juice.
  5. Pineapple – Brush slices or rings with maple syrup and grill for a side dish or dessert.
LIGHTEN UP WHEN YOU LIGHT THE GRILL
  • Add veggie burgers to your summer grilling repertoire. Make your own or stock up on frozen veggie burgers and you'll always be ready!
  • Slice eggplant into rounds, season with your favorite homemade or bottled marinade and grill until just tender. Try this recipe for Grilled Eggplant with Cilantro Salsa Verde.
  • Grill portobello mushroom caps for a healthy meal. They'll soak up flavorful sauces or dressings. Also, great for burgers such as Portobello and Pineapple Teriyaki Veggie Burgers.
  • Make grilled pizzas with homemade or premade pizza crusts, flatbreads or tortillas, quick-melting cheeses and seasonal produce.
