Best Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwich With Banana And Pineapple Salsa Recipes

GRILLED PINEAPPLE-JICAMA SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Brush the pineapple and bell pepper with canola oil; grill, turning, until the pineapple is golden brown on both sides and the pepper is slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
• Let the bell pepper cool, then peel, seed and dice. Dice the pineapple and place in a bowl. Add the bell pepper, jicama, red onion, chiles, vinegar, olive oil and basil; season with salt and pepper and toss.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH CREAM

Steps:

• For the pineapple: Slice the pineapple into 1-inch rounds and place in a large bowl.
• Mix together the lime juice, coconut rum, agave syrup and salt in a small bowl. Add the marinade to the pineapple and gently toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
• When ready, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Brush the grill with the olive oil and grill the pineapple for about 3 minutes per side; there should be noticeable grill marks, but it should still be firm in texture. Remove to a serving platter.
• For the whipped cream: Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream, agave syrup and the reserved lime zest. Whip until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve: Top the grilled pineapple with generous mounds of the whipped cream, scatter over mint leaves and drizzle with agave syrup.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE, BANANAS, AND GRAPES

Steps:

• For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute until smooth. Set aside to cool.
• For the cream: In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the cream until thick. Add the sugar and beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Beat in the yogurt, rum, and vanilla.
• For the fruit: Place a grill pan over medium heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Sprinkle each side of the pineapple slices with brown sugar. Sprinkle the cut sides of the bananas and grapes with brown sugar. Grill the pineapple until grill-marked and golden, 4 to 5 minutes each side. Grill the bananas and grapes until lightly browned and warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes each side.
• Place the grilled pineapple on 4 plates. Top with 3 banana slices and 3 grapes. Drizzle with honey glaze and spoon a dollop of the cream on top. Garnish with chopped fresh mint and serve.

PINEAPPLE SALSA & CREAM CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Soften cream cheese. A good way to soften the cream cheese is to take it out of its wrapper, and microwave 30-40 seconds or until it's soft.
• In a large bowl, add the entire jar of salsa, and then add all the softened cream cheese.
• Stir very well with a whisk until the salsa and cream cheese are fully blended. Make sure you have stirred away all the big chunks of cream cheese, and the dip is smooth and creamy.
• Cover and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes. (You CAN eat it right away, but chilling it for a while blends the flavors, and sets the dip).
