Grilled Pineapple Salad
Grilled Pineapple Salad is an easy tropical summer side dish or dessert for your next cookout. It’s literally the juiciest grilled pineapple recipe!
Grilled Pineapple Fruit Salad starts with grilled pineapple, of course! I adore grilled pineapple, it’s so delicious. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out! The honey and lemon help the pineapple caramelize as it cooks on the grill.
You can add any fresh fruit you have on hand, but I love the combination of strawberries with pineapple. I think that the toasted coconut puts this right over the top.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some questions (and answers!) people often ask about grilled pineapple salad:
Of course, the most delicious strawberries are the ones freshly picked. Pineapples are native to South America. In fact, Costa Rica and Brazil produce the most pineapples. Pineapple’s peak season runs from March to July, so they are definitely a summertime fruit.
Strawberries are grown all over the United States. You might even have some neighbors with a strawberry patch! Strawberries are typically most in season from April to June.
Yes, you definitely can make the grilled pineapple recipe on kababs. The only difference will be that when you grill the slices of pineapple directly on the grill, you can serve them on a plate (like I did). With kababs, you have the extra step of taking them off the skewer, and the pineapple is served in chunks instead of slices.
The grilled pineapple with honey is so incredibly sweet, that you won’t need any other desserts. Pick a dish that is more savory and salty for the main course. I suggest grilled brats or pork chops with corn on the cob.
If it is raining or you just can’t get your grill to work, there is hope! Yes, you can make these grilled pineapples on the stove or indoor griddle. The grill gives it a unique smoky flavor and crispy texture that you can’t replicate any other way. But you can still have an otherwise delicious dessert.
To make the grilled pineapple recipe inside, you just need to prepare it as I mentioned before but cook it over medium heat in a large skillet. It cooks very quickly, so keep an eye on it and flip it over before it burns.
