Grilled Fruit and Vegetable Salad
Ingredients
1 red apple, cut into 8 wedges
1 red pear, cut into 8 wedges
6 stalks of kale
½ sweet potato, cut into 5 mm wedges
¼ cup (60 mL) honey
¼ cup (60 mL) apple cider vinegar
¼ cup (60 mL) cold pressed canola oil
1 green onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced (preferably with a mandolin)
½ bunch of herbs of choice (mint, dill, thyme, parsley)
½ cup pumpkin seeds, almonds or pecans
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Turn the grill to a medium heat. Toss the fruit and vegetables in a bit of the oil, and add salt and pepper to taste
- Place the sweet potato on the grill first, giving it a 2-3 minute head start
- Add the apple, pear and kale, and char for about 5 minutes until starting to soften but still crunchy on the inside. When the kale begins to crisp, char and wilt, remove from the grill
- Once the sweet potato is soft but still has a slight bite, remove all the fruits and vegetables and set aside in a bowl to cool
- Whisk together the honey, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, green onion, garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper
- Pour the dressing over the fruits and vegetables, just enough to coat but not saturate. Sprinkle with your choice of nuts or seeds
