- Cooking oil - 1 1/2 Tbsp
- Green peppers - 2 , chopped into squares
- Red peppers - 2 , chopped into squares
- Mushrooms, brown or white buttons - 1/2 lb , halved
- Pineapple - 1/2 , cubed
- Skewers - 12 to 24
- Quinoa - 2/3 cup , uncooked ((Or sub 2 cups cook. Skip for low-cal))
Mixed Green Salad:
- Kidney beans (14oz / 397g can) - 1/2 can ((~1 cup - sub other beans if desired))
- Dijon mustard - 1 tsp
- Balsamic vinegar - 1 1/2 Tbsp
- Cooking oil - 3 Tbsp

Prep
- Make marinade - Chop green onions. Mix with red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, Italian seasonings, brown sugar, and oil.
- Green peppers / Red peppers / Mushrooms - Prep as directed. Place veggies into a Ziploc bag or container and cover in marinade. Marinade for at least 30 minutes and up to a day. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Pineapple - Prep as directed. If making tomorrow night’s dinner, you can prep the whole pineapple but chop tomorrow night’s portion into smaller pieces for a salsa. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
- Prep skewers - Thread skewers through veggies and pineapple. I use two skewers per / kebab (as shown in meal photo) for easier flipping during the cooking process. Place skewers on a sheet pan.
- Quinoa - Combine quinoa with 2x the amount of water (or stock if you prefer) in a saucepan. Add in some salt. Bring to a boil covered. Lower heat, keep covered, and cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
