Salad with Grilled Nectarines

Normally a dinner at our place consist of some kind of meat and a salad on the side. In general we try to cut down on food with high content of carbs like potatoes, white rice and pasta and replace it with delicious salads. This time we have made a simple salad with fresh and grilled nectarines. The nectarines are rinsed, cut in halves and then grilled for about 10 minutes – this makes them nice and soft. This salad is a real summer salad and perfect for a barbecue party, however, it can be eaten all year around. The salad goes great with most meat.

We think that adding fruit to a salad will just make it so much better. In the summer period, where our farmers market has tons of fresh fruit, we eat so many delicious salads. You can see some of our other salad recipes in our salad archive.
