Servings: 4
Ingredients
for the sauce
- 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
- Fresh lemon zest for garnish if desired
for the grilled peaches
- 2 fresh peaches washed, cut in half and pit removed
- 1 Tbsp. orange olive oil or oil of choice
- 1/2-1 tsp. cinnamon
- Balsamic vinegar for garnish if desired
Instructions
- To make the yogurt sauce, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla. Stir well and keep refrigerated. Reserve lemon zest for garnish when serving.
- To grill the peaches, make sure grill grates are clean. Pre-heat grill and oil the grates while preparing peaches.
- Cut both peaches in half and remove the pit. Place cut side up on a plate and brush each half lightly with oil, being sure to cover both the cut side and the outside of the peach. Sprinkle cut sides with cinnamon.
- Place peach halves, cut side down, on grill grates. Close lid and grill on low heat for about 4 minutes. Open lid and carefully lift peaches from the grates and flip so the outside of the peach is on the grates. Close lid and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes or until peaches are softened but not mushy.
- Remove from grill and cook slightly.
- To serve, drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on the bottom of 4 dessert plates. Place one peach half on each plate. Top each with a dollop of the honey and lemon yogurt sauce and sprinkle lemon on top. Serve immediately.
