Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
- 1 can of artichoke hearts
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup of your favorite dressing (use a low-fat option for a healthier twist!)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Drain the artichoke hearts from the can and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Wash the green and red bell peppers thoroughly under cold running water. Remove the seeds and cut them into bite-sized chunks.
-
Thread the Kebabs:
- Take wooden or metal skewers and thread the artichoke hearts and pepper chunks onto them evenly, alternating between the vegetables to create colorful patterns. Be creative with your arrangement!
-
Marinate the Kebabs:
- Place the assembled kebabs in a shallow dish, ensuring they lie flat.
- Carefully pour the dressing over the kebabs, ensuring each one is evenly coated. You can use a brush to spread the dressing evenly if needed.
- For a burst of flavor, consider using a tangy vinaigrette, a zesty Italian dressing, or a creamy ranch dressing.
-
Chill or Serve Immediately:
- At this point, you have two options: you can either chill the kebabs in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully, or you can serve them immediately if you’re in a hurry or craving a fresh and crunchy snack.
