Zesty Mixed Grill


Make big batches of this zesty dish and freeze leftovers for quick work lunches or "too tired to cook" dinners. Experiment with different spice combinations for a twist!

Ingredients (serves 1)
  • 2 oz round steak
  • 3 oz chicken thigh
  • 3 oz tuna or salmon
  • 1 tablespoon Kraft Light Done Right Zesty Italian dressing
  • 1 teaspoon lite soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
  • salt & pepper to taste
Preheat George Foreman grill to HIGH or prepare outdoor BBQ. Soak skewers in hot water for 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Cut beef, chicken and fish into 1" cubes and put in a Ziploc baggie with Italian dressing, Tabasco sauce, soy sauce & ginger to marinate for 5-30 minutes. Thread marinated meats onto skewers alternating different types. Brush with remaining marinade and discard.

Broil kebabs evenly about 2-3 minutes on each side. When cooked to desired doneness serve & enjoy!
