Grilled Fruit and Vegetable Kabobs



These colorful and healthy kabobs are delicious. The marinade really makes these flavorful.  They make the perfect summertime side dish for whatever you're grilling.  I served these along side grilled BBQ chicken.  This is a recipe from Allrecipes.

Here is the beautiful rainbow of veggies and fruits needed to make these yummy kabobs.  Pineapple, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, yellow squash, red and green bell peppers, and red onions.


Thread the fruit and veggies onto the skewers.

In a small mixing bowl,  combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.  Brush the marinade over the fruit and veggie skewers.

Line the grill with Reynolds wrap aluminum foil. Using foil on the grill grates really helps keep the kabobs from sticking and falling thru grates.  Plus it makes clean-up a breeze.  Place kabobs on grill on aluminum foil and grill for 10 to 15 minutes or until done.

2 small yellow squash, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
