This simple grilled pineapple and Greek yogurt recipe brings together sweet summer flavors and a boost of protein for a satisfying seasonal dessert.

Grilled Pineapple with Greek Yogurt – Serves 8

INGREDIENTS: 

• 1 firm pineapple, sliced into four wedges or pre-cut fresh pineapple spears
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 4 cups low-fat/nonfat plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (whipped with a whisk)
• ¼ cup chopped pistachios 

PREPARATION: 

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Optional to use cooking spray to prevent sticking. Prepare the marinade in a large bowl by combining the olive oil, cloves, cinnamon, honey and lime juice; whisk to blend and set aside. Cut the top and base of the pineapple; stand pineapple upright and peel removing any remaining skin. Cut it in half lengthwise. Place each pineapple half cut side down and cut each half lengthwise creating four long wedges (if too large, cut in half again to create 8 spears). Place pineapple in the bowl with the marinade and stir to coat the pineapple. Place on the grill for 4-5 minutes basting once or twice with the remaining marinade. Grill until golden, then slice. Divide yogurt among bowls and top with grilled pineapple and pistachios.
