Shake up your summer dinner routine with these delicious skewers packed with veggies and swimming in healthy, tasty marinades. Recipes like our Greek Grilled Salmon Kebabs with Tzatziki & Green Beans and Mojito-Marinated Chicken Kebabs will pair perfectly with your favorite summer side salad. 01 of 13 Greek Grilled Salmon Kebabs with Tzatziki & Green Beans View Recipe This easy grilled salmon recipe is sure to help you win your next backyard BBQ. Lemon, garlic and herbs make a simple, flavorful marinade for the healthy fish souvlaki (souvlakia is the Greek word for kebabs), and the yogurt-based tzatziki sauce is one of the traditional pleasures of Mediterranean cuisine. A side of Greek-style green beans completes this healthy dinner recipe that's as suited to entertaining as it is to family meals. 02 of 13 Chicken Souvlaki Kebabs with Mediterranean Couscous View Recipe Fennel adds a nice flavoring to the marinade in this Mediterranean-inspired chicken souvlaki dish. The kabobs are perfectly paired with a veggie-packed, yogurt-dressed Israeli couscous. 03 of 13 Shrimp & Pepper Kebabs with Grilled Red Onion Slaw View Recipe These healthy grilled shrimp and mini bell pepper kebabs come together in just 30 minutes, so they're great for weeknight dinners. A bag of coleslaw mix is a time-saving meal starter. Here, we make it our own by mixing in grilled red onion and crushed pita chips. A homemade herb-feta dressing both coats the slaw and sauces the kebabs. 04 of 13 Mojito-Marinated Chicken Kebabs View Recipe A quick mint, lime and rum marinade does double duty as a sauce for these easy grilled chicken kebabs. Using agave cuts the sugars in this recipe by half compared to granulated sugar. Plus, we love the added south-of-the-border flavor. Grill some vegetables and corn on the cob along with the kebabs and you have a healthy weeknight dinner that's special enough to serve to company. 05 of 13 Grilled Liver Kebabs (Jigar) View Recipe Made with just about any kind of meat, kebabs are classic Iranian street food. Lamb is the predominant red meat eaten in Iran, and its liver is a delicacy. Lemon, garlic and fresh basil nicely balance the liver's mineral flavor. 06 of 13 Marinated Grilled Vegetable Kebabs View Recipe Tender vegetables soak up this tangy marinade and turn delicately smoky and tender on a hot grill. These kebabs make a wonderful side dish with grilled meats or fish. 07 of 13 Tandoori Chicken Kebabs View Recipe In this Indian-inspired healthy dinner recipe, tandoori-spiced yogurt does double duty as a marinade and dipping sauce for these chicken kebabs. Serve with brown basmati rice and a spinach salad. 08 of 13 Garlic Shrimp & Asparagus Kebabs View Recipe Shrimp and asparagus both cook very quickly, making them a perfect pair on the grill. We've seasoned them in delicate flavors--lemon, garlic and dill--so their natural sweetness can shine through. Pick fat asparagus stalks for easier skewering. 09 of 13 Grilled Beef & Vegetable Kebabs View Recipe These easy grilled beef & vegetable kebabs are not only delicious--they're economical too. Tri-tip is an inexpensive and flavorful cut of beef that takes beautifully to cooking over an open flame. Thread it onto skewers with colorful veggies and marinate for up to eight hours before cooking on the grill or over your campfire. Either way, it's a healthy and tasty summer meal. 10 of 13 Shrimp, Scallop & Pineapple Skewers with Cilantro Aioli View Recipe Fire up the grill and make these delicious citrusy seafood skewers. 11 of 13 Chicken and Vegetable Souvlaki with Barley Pilaf and Tzatziki View Recipe This recipe combines two popular components of Greek cuisine: souvlaki and tzatziki. Souvlaki consists of skewered, grilled meat, and tzatziki is a yogurt-based sauce traditionally served with grilled meats. 12 of 13 Easy Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro Salsa Verde View Recipe Fresh cilantro, parsley, and lime juice make a tangy green salsa that adds lively flavor to this easy grilled shrimp recipe. 13 of 13 Chicken Kebabs with Warm Cabbage-Apple Slaw View Recipe Serve these easy grilled chicken kebabs with apple and cabbage slaw and potatoes for a healthy dinner that's great for summer cookouts. Leave yourself enough time to marinate the chicken for up to three hours in the simple orange-ginger marinade before threading it onto skewers and putting them on the grill. Was this page helpful?
