Recipe Ingredients:

10 ten-inch metal or wooden skewers
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 20 chunks
1 red onion, cut into 20 chunks
1 medium zucchimi, cut into 20 chunks
20 large mushrooms

Recipe Instructions:

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix well.

Alternately thread 2 chunks each of the yellow squash, onion, and zucchini and 2 mushrooms onto each skewer. Place the skewers on a 10- by 15-inch rimmed baking sheet and pour the oil and vineger marinade over the vegetables. Marinate for 30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the kabobs for 8 to 10 minutes, or until fork tender, basting occasionally with the marinade.

This recipe yields 5 servings. Serving size: 2 skewers.
