Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray
1/2 peeled and cored pineapple
4 scallions
2 c. baby spinach leaves
1/2 tsp. grated garlic
1/2 tsp. peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tsp. honey
.13 tsp. sesame oil

Instructions

To make the grilled pineapple teriyaki, coat a grill pan with nonstick spray and place over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill and get it very hot. Put the pineapple wedges on the hot grill and cook until the fruit is charred on all sides, turning with tongs, about 10 minutes total. Remove the pineapple from the grill, chop into small pieces, and put into a mixing bowl.
Next, lay the scallions on the hot grill and char on both sides until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove the scallions from the grill, chop, and add to the pineapple. Keep the grill hot; you'll need it to cook the burgers.
To the pineapple mixture, add the spinach, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and sesame oil. Toss well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
