Grilled Chicken with Grilled Peach Salsa fits the bill when you're craving something seasonal
Grilled Chicken with Grilled Peach Salsa

I crave something seasonal; I need a quick fix... a perfect peach is so easy to grill. Nothing beats this fresh, sweet and tart salsa when peaches are at their ripest.
Grilled halved and pitted plums or pineapple slices make make a fine substitute for the peaches. Or combine all three!

A halved and pitted grilled peach or plum would also make a wonderful dessert with a scoop of sorbet or ice-cream served in the pitted area. Rub a bit of brown sugar into the flesh after it's grilled. Mmmmm.
