Salad
10-12 oz. fresh spinach
1 pint strawberries, sliced thin.
~
Mix together with dressing just before serving.
Salad looks so pretty with the dark green of the spinach against the pretty red of the strawberries. Tastes soo good.

These are really good and make the meat so tender.(I haven't tried it with beef yet) You can also use this on boneless chicken breasts but may want to halve the marinade as it makes lots. (could always refrigerate the extra for use later in the week,lol)

Tangy Tasty Kabobs

2lbs boneless beef or chicken, cut into 1 1/2 "cubes.
Assorted cut -up veggies( peppers,cherry tomatoes zucchini,onion etc.)

Arrange meat and veggies on skewers
(I like to seperate the veggies and the meat as I have better control over the cooking times of each.)
Brush kabobs well with marinade & marinate 1/2 hour in fridge. Place kabobs on grill over med-high coals, brush with any extra marinade. Grill 10 to 15 min or until desired doneness, turning once.
Use reserved 1/2 c. for dipping.
