Veggie kabobs are a fun and easy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. You can customize them however you like, but we recommend using some of our favorite combinations, like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and halloumi cheese.
Halloumi is a type of cheese that doesn't melt when cooked, making it the perfect choice for kabobs. It has a salty and slightly tangy flavor that pairs well with grilled vegetables.
If you're looking for a quick and healthy summer meal, veggie kabobs are the perfect solution!
15. Grilled Salmon with Pineapple Salsa
Salmon is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial to your health. Adding some pineapple salsa to your grilled salmon only enhances the flavor and adds some nutritional value too.
The sweetness of the pineapple pairs well with the smoky flavor of the grilled salmon, and the salsa is a great way to add some crunchy texture as well. You can use any type of salsa you like, but I recommend using a fresh salsa that contains tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers.
If you’re looking for a healthy and delicious meal that’s easy to prepare, then grilled salmon with pineapple salsa is definitely worth trying.
