Brush the cut sides of the plums with avocado oil to prevent sticking.

Preheat the grill and oil the grates.

Place the plums cut side down on the hot grill.

Grill the plums until they get grill marks and become bubbly, then turn them over to finish cooking.

Sprinkle a little cinnamon on the plums while grilling.

Remove the plums from the grill once they are caramelized and bursting with juices.

Let the grilled plums cool off before assembling the salad.

Prepare a salad bed with mixed red and green leaf lettuces.

Whisk together maple syrup, olive oil, red wine vinegar, a pinch of cinnamon, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.

Compose the salad by adding mint leaves, scallions, and the grilled plums.

Add the extra juice from the plums into the dressing before drizzling it over the salad.

Top the salad with chopped toasted pistachios.
