Skewer colourful veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms. Grill skewers until they're tender with slightly charred edges. Finish by brushing with a simple marinade of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.

Tip: Prevent wooden skewers from burning by soaking them in water for at least 15 minutes before threading on the meat and veggies.

2. Indian Inspired Coleslaw

Finish with sprinkled pomegranate seeds for a pop of colour and a burst of sweetness. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
