Schmedward Skewers

This post is for my sis in college, who is new to the cooking scene. By this I mean she just recently learned how to marinade chicken breast. To give her huge props I heard through the grapevine that she just purchased her first Cooking Light magazine, hearing that brought tears to my eyes. Oh and her hot chocolate is to die for. Love you Ed.
Mediterranean Skewers (Schmedward Skewers):
cherry tomatoes-yellow or red.....or if you love tomatoes as much as I do add both!
yellow peppers- not in the picture, but they add nice flavor
Kalamata olives- pitted
mozzarella mini balls or buy a big hunk of feta cheese and cut it into cubes
roasted garlic

dressing:
1 cup organic Italian dressing
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon sugar

I have also served these with homemade pesto....awesome.
homemade pesto:
1/8 cup toasted pine nuts
2 garlic cloves
1 handful of fresh basil
1/2 cup parmashan cheese
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

toast pine nuts until you can smell them or right when they turn golden brown.
put into food processor, then mix in garlic. after pulsed together then add basil, cheese, and last olive oil.


take veggies and assemble onto skewers
I would leave the dressing on the side and let everyone put desired amount on skewer
