These are two of those 'recipes' that really aren't recipes, per se, but they are quick and easy, even for those who don't like to cook. I made them last week because we had nice weather and because I love to grill during the week to minimize clean up. The boys liked the concept of 'food on a stick,' and although they didn't love the dressing on the salad, they did eat some corn and beans. I would probably leave out the cilantro for them next time and I think they'd like it better.
Grilled Sausage and Vegetable Kabobs and Black Bean and Corn Salad
Timing - 20 minutes
Ingredients for the Kabobs
1 package fully cooked chicken apples sausage (or any other fully cooked sausage)
8 oz package cremini mushrooms
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 orange bell pepper
1 yellow pepper
Ingredients for the Salad
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1.5 cups frozen corn, thawed in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes
3 T chopped fresh cilantro
1.5 T finely minced red onion
2 t red wine vinegar
1 T good olive oil
How to Make
For the kabobs, Slice the sausage into 2 inch pieces and cut the peppers in about 2 inch pieces. Thread all of the vegetables and sausage onto skewers and grill until vegetables are slightly tender and charred and sausage is nicely browned, about 10 minutes total.
For the salad, stir all ingredients together and let sit about 20 minutes before serving.
Serves 4
