Recipe News: Healthy Grilling Tips and Recipes
With Memorial Day just around the corner, the summer grilling season is upon us and I can't wait!We love to grill all kinds of vegetables, fish, meats, tofu, potatoes, corn...even fruit! Grilling is easy, fun, and cuts clean-up time.
However, grilling also presents a health risk because carcinogenic compounds can form when meat is cooked at high temperatures over direct heat sources. (Grilling vegetables or other foods does not present this danger.)
You can dramatically reduce the formation of these compounds by trimming fat from meat, marinating, and grilling at lower temperatures. (Please see our Guide to Grilling Meats for more information. )
Here are some great recipes for your healthy summer cookouts. Each recipe also includes a complete nutritional analysis, which you can save to your pantry for future reference.
Includes recipes for:
- Grilled Pork Loin with Fire-Roasted Pineapple Salsa
- Spicy Grilled Chicken with Green Onions
- Yogurt-Marinated Chicken Kebabs
- Rosemary- and Orange-marinated Tuna Kebabs
- Grilled Chicken and Romaine with Caper Dressing
