Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
- ⅔ cup Olive Oil
- ⅔ cup Red Wine Vinegar
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 6 Garlic Cloves, finely minced
- 1 ½ tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 ½ tablespoon Dried Oregano
- 1 ½ tablespoon Dried Basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt or to taste
For the Skewers
- 1 small Zucchini
- ½ medium Eggplant
- 1 large Green Pepper
- 1 large Yellow Pepper
- 1 large Red Pepper
- 1 medium Red Onion
Instructions
- Make the marinade by combining all the marinade ingredients, and whisking until combined. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Chop all the vegetables into large pieces - about 1 inch squares.
- Place all the vegetables in a gallon sized zipper bag, and pour half of the marinade over the vegetables. Shake the bag to coat the vegetables.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
- Meanwhile, soak 16-20 wooden skewers in water in a shallow container (this helps prevent the skewers from burning during grilling).
- After the vegetables are done marinating, thread them onto skewers in whatever order you like.
- Preheat the grill, and oil the grates.
- Put the skewers on the grill, and reduce heat to medium or medium-low.
- Grill the skewers, rotating every 5 minutes or so, until the vegetables reach the desired level of doneness. Because there is no meat, the skewers can be cooked however long or short you like.
- Remove from the grill, and serve immediately, with the reserved marinade for dipping.
