So I was invited to a 4th of July party / barbeque, and I started to stress about what to bring. I usually make a salad, but wanted to switch things up. The last time I made a pasta salad it cost me about $12 in ingredients, so my goal was to make something super healthy and a lot less expensive. Here's my recipe for kabobs - if you can't find some ingredients fresh or on sale, just substitute.
Party Kabobs
1 small eggplant
3 not-too-ripe plum tomatoes
2 green peppers
1 small vidalia onion
1/4 cup olive oil
salt
fresh ground pepper
red pepper flake
parsley
Soak about 14 bamboo skewers in water. Chop all the vegetables into one inch cubes and add to a large mixing bowl. Toss the veggies with the olive oil and spices. Use a generous amount of spices to coat the veggies. Skewer the veggies on the bamboo sticks and place in a rubbermaid container for easy transport. Make sure to put the veggies on the grill before the meats - they usually take about 10-15 minutes to cook. Makes about 12-14 skewers.
Cost: $4.86
