Vegetable Kebobs with White Bean Salad

By Alexandra Caspero on August 5, 2012

Let’s face it, vegetables aren’t a sexy main dish. Delicious? Yes. But few vegetables have that star power that makes you swoon with delight. That all changes with kebobs. There is just something about the presentation of skewered summer vegetables, much prettier than a bowl full of cooked ones.  Plus, they couldn’t be easier to make. Feel free to improvise with what vegetables you have on hand.

These metal skewers are the other reason this dish takes center stage. Aren’t they adorable? I picked them up from Crate and Barrel sometime earlier this summer and they are the perfect accessory to take roasted vegetables from eh to Wow!

      Seriously veggie-heavy meals like this are my favorite sort of eats! Plus, I could eat zucchini every day and never get bored of it. Those grilled kebabs sound incredible all by themselves!
