GRILLED FRUIT GORGONZOLA SALAD



Grilled Fruit Gorgonzola Salad image

This salad can be eaten in any season using available fruit but is probably best in summer when the selection of pit fruits is at its best. The warm sweetness of the fruit complements the melting lightly pungent creaminess of the cheese and bitter greens.

Provided by Kimba

Categories     Salad     Fruit Salad Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

⅓ ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 firm ripe peaches or nectarines
1 Anjou pear
1 tablespoon oil
Freshly ground black pepper
⅓ pound crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
15 leaves fresh basil, chopped
10 sprigs Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
2 cups arugula leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  • Cut the peaches in half, removing the pit. Keeping the skin on the pear, cut straight down one side, then the opposite, leaving the core. Cut the two remaining sides off of the core (the pieces will not be even).
  • Brush a small amount of oil on the pineapple, peaches, and pear to prevent them from sticking to the grill. Sprinkle all sides of the fruit with pepper. Place the fruit flesh side down on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning as needed, until soft and caramelized.
  • When the fruit is cooked, remove from the grill and place on a serving platter. Sprinkle with crumbled cheese and top with chopped basil, parsley and arugula. Drizzle with olive oil if desired. Serve hot.
