Grass is at 18% Grey and works great for setting an exposure.   Put your camera in Manual.  If you don't have a grey card handy but are outside point your lens at the grass and set your exposure.  Than take the picture of your subject in the backlit situation.  I almost always shoot manual as it creates consistency in my photos and simplifies editing.  If you have no grey card, and no grass check your histogram and adjust accordingly while in Manual Mode.   (Hope this helps!)</p></blockquote><p></p>
