- Serve each apple half with some salad and enjoy!
Notes
Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can lightly brush the apple slices with honey before grilling.
- Feel free to customize the salad greens based on your preferences.
- If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar with a bit of honey in a saucepan.
