Transfer to a large bowl. Add the lemon juice and parsley; toss to combine.

Tips:
- Choose ripe nectarines: Look for nectarines with a deep orange or yellow color and no bruises or blemishes. They should be slightly soft when you press them gently.
- Prepare the nectarines: Cut the nectarines in half and remove the pits. You can also peel the nectarines if you prefer, but this is not necessary.
- Brush the nectarines with oil: This will help them to grill evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the nectarines over medium heat: Cook the nectarines for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
- Serve the nectarines immediately: Grilled nectarines can be served on their own or with a variety of toppings, such as yogurt, ice cream, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Grilled nectarines are a delicious and healthy summer treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Whether you serve them on their own or with toppings, grilled nectarines are sure to be a hit.
