FRESH CAPRESE VEGETABLE KABOBS
This is a beautiful appetizer dish or side dish. It's great for potlucks and it always gets lots of compliments. The key is to use the freshest of ingredients. I buy the fresh basil and tomatoes from my farmer's market or (if it's winter) our local fresh market. NOTE: If you can't find little cherry sized mozzarella, you can buy the large sized balls and cut them into bite sized pieces.

Found this recipe in TOH Magazine, submitted by Lorri Cleveland, and am posting here to clear up space in my cookbook shelves. We grill year round here in FL so I am always on the lookout for new recipes to grill. I marinade the steak and veggies, but put veggies on separate skewers from the steak, so I can cook them to the correct doneness. Use your favorite vegetables of choice.
