Zesty Italian Dressing
- 1/4 c. white vinegar
- 1/4 c. lemon juice
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. dry mustard
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (this really doesn't add much heat; it's better with it!)
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 c. canola oil
- 1/3 c. Parmesan cheese (either fresh or from a can)
- 3/4 tsp. Italian seasoning (add more if needed)
- In a blender, combine vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, mustard, salt, seasoning salt, black pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Blend. While blender is running, slowly add oil in a steady stream. Turn off blender and add Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Pulse blender 2-3 times to combine herbs and cheese. Remove 1/2 c. of dressing for basting during grilling and set aside.
- Place cut-up chicken in a shallow dish and pour a little less than half of the remaining dressing over the chicken. Place in refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until ready to use.
- Place chopped veggies in a dish (a 9x13 pan works great) and pour remaining dressing (except for reserved 1/2 c.) over the veggies. Toss gently to combine. Set aside.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for about 30 minutes.
