I made this last night. I squeezed lime on, and sprinkled with cinnamon before grilling. Everyone loved them.
That sounds wonderful! I am so glad!! 🙂
I have been experimenting with more grilled vegetables and fruits of recent. Wanting to expand ways of enjoying fruit on the grill and I love fruit in salads. I as well served the pear over fresh greens with walnut and goat cheese. I had a balsami glaze that I brushed the pears with coming off the grill and served with balsamic dressing. It was the dish of the night and not a morsel was wasted. Thanks
OH MY GOODNESS WOW Mark!!!! I LOVE IT!!! 🙂
I took the suggestion of serving these grilled pears over greens and goat cheese with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Delicious. I served this lovely salad as a side dish with grilled salmon. I love your website! I have tried several of your recipes and have enjoyed all of them. I really appreciate the emphasis on fresh whole foods and the simplicity of preparation in your recipes.
Thank you so much Nancy, I absolutely LOVE to hear that!!!
