Grilled Fruit with Strawberry Dip

With the upcoming holiday weekend, grilling is once again on our mind. I thought this recipe sounded too good to pass up and no one will know you were trying to throw something healthy into your meal! lol

You can actually use any “in season” fruit that you think would taste great.

Ingredients:

Sauce ~

8 ounces part-skim ricotta cheese

2 Tblsp plain nonfat yogurt

¼ tsp dried, ground ginger

8 Strawberries, halved

Fruit to grill ~

4 peaches, halved or quartered

8 chunks pineapple

4 plums, nectarines, or papayas,halved

¼ cup balsamic vinegar (apple cider will do)

2 tsp granulated sugar

Instructions:

·        In a blender puree cheese, yogurt, ginger, and strawberries together until smooth. Refrigerate for two hours before grilling fruit.

·        When ready to grill fruit, thread pieces of prepared fruit onto eight skewers. Mix together vinegar and sugar. Grill fruit until lightly browned, turning frequently and brushing with vinegar mixture during grilling.

·        Serve grilled fruit with sauce on side.

As Always, ENJOY! and Happy Memorial Day!
