Grilled Pears with Dill Mayonnaise

grilled pears with dill mayonnaise

Spring appears to be committedly here now and I get the fever for all things fruit.  These Bartlett pears were looking pretty and almost ripe at the produce section of the super market and all I could think was about grilling something.

That something would be pears.  Grilled pears are great on their own since the cooking process brings out their sweetness. But wouldn’t a chilled dill mayo just totally balance out the sweet and give that perfect combination of creamy, piquant and just an all over yum?  Totally.  This is what I was going for.

I pulled out my grilling pan, cut up the pears and off I went to make my dish.  The dill mayo required almost no time to make and just adding a bit of this and that was all it took to complete the meal.

I decided that the coconut yogurt was a nice addition but only a small amount.  You can use any non-dairy yogurt as a  substitute and it would taste just as good.

I thought about using lime juice instead of cider vinegar but the taste wouldn’t have that sharp bite.  But please don’t overdo the cider vinegar since a heavy hand will make the mayo too acidic.

Mix, add, mix, taste, add, mix until just right to your taste buds.

Put pears on the grill and go for it.

Transfer pears to a board or plate and start spooning the chilled dill mayo on top of them.  Add dill garnish if you like.

Ta da!
