the start of summer dining

Steve & I had the chance to hang with some of our friends on Memorial Day and thought it was the perfect time to try out our snazzy fire wires.  So I made up four FULL skewers (after re-watching the video, maybe I shouldn't have totally filled them up;) … but at any rate, it was really easy to do.  I just marinated them for a few hours in Italian dressing.

At first I laid them across the grill, but found it was easier to turn & consistently cook them by looping the needle end through the loop.  I just flipped them by grabbing the needle end with a pot holder.

 



The veggies & chicken were fairly easy to pull off the wire.  I held the wire by the loop end and used a fork 'un-skewer' the food.  A full skewer is more than enough for one person – especially if you had other sides.

Like this amazing bean salsa my friend Sarah made.  I asked for the recipe and just bought the ingredients to make some for another upcoming party… so-so tasty!

Combine:
2 cans fiesta corn, drained
1 can black olives, drained and chopped
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
3 avocados, chopped

Mix in dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vinegar
1 package Italian dressing powder mix

Thanks Sarah & Ryan for a lovely Memorial Day BBQ!
