Grilled Salad? Heck Yes, Grilled Salad!

  • Allow us to introduce you to one of our favorite TMP recipes, this grilled romaine caesar salad. Yup, you read that right! You put the hearts of romaine right on the grill to get a wilty, smoky, char-y and just all kinds of delicious. It’s a main dish salad that’s dinner party-ready.
  • Grill up some chicken and add it to this Waldorf salad for a smoky, summery riff on the crunchy classic.
  • A grilled curried chicken salad with goat cheese and a delicious herby vinaigrette is about as healthy and delicious as can be.

Move Over, Burgers—Grilled Pizza Has Entered the Building!

  • Eggs cook to sunny-side up perfection in a smoky, spicy tomato sauce on this delightfully over-the-top, feta-sprinkled grilled shakshuka pizza.
  • If you’re tight on time, make this four-ingredient grilled flatbread with burrata cheese using fresh pizza dough from your local pizzeria (yep, most of them will sell you dough for cheap! Just ask!).
  • And if you’re really, really tight on time, just use store-bought flatbread, and throw this Thai Chicken Pizza on the grill.

Grilled Corn For Days.

  • Our take on a classic grilled Mexican street corn recipe relies on easy-to-find ingredients to create the creamy, slightly spicy, smoky corn on the cob that we crave when we think of authentic Mexican elote.
  • Serving elote for a crowd? Make it a salad instead! This Mexican street corn salad with chipotle crema is always a hit.
  • Do you prefer your grilled corn with maple Bourbon butter or slathered with blue cheese butter and chives? How about all of the above? We present: grilled corn, four ways.

    I made the grilled sliders and the grilled steak salad and both were excellent. My goal is to try all 30 this summer!

    Thanks Jenn, we love that goal!
