Spring is right around the corner. Every time the weather warms up I can’t help but immediately want to fire up the grill and toss something healthy onto it. After eating winter comfort food for months, something grill, loaded with veggies and light is just what my body is craving as soon as we have our first warm day.
To make these kebabs you will need to soak 8 wooden bamboo skewers. Or use metal skewers. I personally prefer the metal ones but you can use whichever work best for you.
Then you will want to dice your ham, peppers, onions, and pineapple into 1 inch pieces. You will need approximately 30 pieces of each item. Assemble kebabs by alternating the items. Then you will combine all of the marinade ingredients and marinate for one to two hours before grilling the kebabs.
Your family will love this simple recipe. I always serve mine with a side of fruit and a salad. It makes for a fresh and light dinner that hits the spot when the weather warms up.
