Vegetable Kabobs & Dip

Prep Tip: Choose medium sized zucchini and yellow squash that are firm, have smooth, shiny skin and feel heavy for their size. Store whole zucchini and yellow squash in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Change it Up: Grill the kabobs and serve hot or cold. If grilling, add onions and green peppers to the skewers and be sure to soak any wood skewers in water before grilling. Add to scrambled eggs, chicken enchiladas, burritos, or quesadillas.

Nutrition Tip: A 1/2 cup serving of sliced zucchini is a good source of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for growth and development and is only found in plants. The body does not make or store vitamin C, so it is important to eat foods with vitamin C every day.
