Honey-Basil Veggie Kabobs
Summer was made for grilling and skewers were made for veggies. Thread plump cherry tomatoes, cremini mushrooms, slices of fresh zucchini, yellow squash and red onion onto presoaked wooden skewers, then douse them in a simple, to-die-for sweet-and-tangy glaze made from a few pantry ingredients.

SAUCE:
- ● 4 cloves garlic , minced
- ● ¼ cup fresh basil leaves , minced
- ● 6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- ● ¼ cup rice wine or sake
- ● 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ● ¼ cup rice vinegar

Instructions
- Make sauce: Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake well to combine. Refrigerate for up to 1 week. (Makes 1 ½ cups.)
- Place all vegetables in a large bowl or rectangular dish. Add sauce; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight), turning occasionally.
- Preheat grill to medium. Thread all vegetables onto six to nine 15-inch bamboo skewers. Leave about ⅛ inch between each piece to allow even cooking.
