By combining 5 different colored vegetables in these kebobs, you have a side dish with great visual appeal and nutrition! Each color represents a different group of phytonutrients that provides health benefits. These can be prepared ahead of time and kept chilled until you are ready to grill them. If you use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water before putting food on them.
