For Pride Month, we put together a simple recipe for Rainbow Vegetable Skewers. Show your pride while getting a healthy serving of vegetables!

Ingredients: 

For the marinade:

• 3/4 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the skewers:

• For the skewers: 4 pounds assorted vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, multi-colored bell peppers, zucchini, summer squash, eggplant, red onion and purple potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

2. Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

3. Drain the skewers and divide the vegetable pieces among them, threading each with a variety of colors. Brush the vegetables with a generous amount of the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, heat a charcoal or gas grill to high, or heat a grill pan over high heat until hot. Grill the skewers until the vegetables are softened and have grill marks, 3-5 minutes on each side. Serve warm.
