GRAND SLAM GRILLED GRAPES

Putting grapes on your grill may sound unusual, but trust me—fresh grapes, balsamic vinegar, and a good char make for a great combination. Serve with bread and cheese for a unique appetizer. For an added kick, add some red chili flakes.

SERVES 6
1 pound red seedless grapes, washed
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 container burrata or goat cheese
1 loaf Italian bread or baguette, sliced

1. Preheat grill to high.
2. Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and garlic together in a large bowl, then add grapes and toss to evenly coat. It’s easier to leave the grapes in one or two large bunches at this point.
3. When your grill is hot, place the grapes over direct heat for 30–45 seconds on each side.
4. Once the grapes are cool enough to handle, cut them into smaller bunches.
5. Brush the bread slices with olive oil, then toast on your grill and serve with the cheese of your choice.
