Shake up your grilling routine with some fresh ideas! Introduce some unexpected ingredients to the smoky heat of the grill this season — here are our favorite picks and recipes.
 LeeksWhen leeks are young and tender, grill them whole or halved to bring out their natural sweetness. Try it: Grilled Baby Leeks with Chervil & Chives |
 SoupThat’s right! Char your ingredients before pureeing them into a soup, and you’ll get the smoky flavor you love in a completely new texture. Try it: Grilled Gazpacho |
 LettuceA sturdy head of lettuce — think romaine or little gems — holds up well to the high heat of the grill, which wilts the leaves to perfection. Try it: Grilled Romaine Salad |
 Fava BeansIf you love fava beans but find the shelling tedious, this tip is for you: grill the beans whole in their pods. Try it: Charred Fava Beans, Mint & Aioli |
 TomatoesTomatoes are delicate, but you can use a griddle to cook them on the grill — the results will be juicier and sweeter than ever. Try it: Grilled Fennel and Tomatoes on the Vine |
 PotatoesInstead of your usual potato salad, try grilling potatoes for your next cookout. Parboil them first, then let them char on the grill for a crisp-creamy texture. Try it: Grilled Fingerling Potatoes |
 FigsGrilling fresh figs gives them a caramelized flavor that takes traditional hors d’oeuvres to the next level. Try it: Grilled Figs with Dry Jack and Prosciutto |
 Bitter GreensGrilling thick wedges of bitter greens like endive and radicchio chars and sweetens their outer leaves for a flavor-packed summer side dish. Try it: Pan-Grilled Radicchio with Salsa Verde |
 WatermelonWhen melons come into season, create an unexpected dessert by cooking them on the grill — honeydew melon and cantaloupe work well, too. Try it: Watermelon with Mint Zabaglione |
