Pork marinated in Greek spices, lemon juice, and vinegar then grilled with vegetables and served with cool homemade Tzatziki sauce.

I can honestly say it isn’t quite summer until we start cooking on the grill. There are several reasons why I love grilling our meals. The first is that using the grill outdoors we don’t have to heat up the kitchen when it’s hot outside. The second reason is that grilled food just tasted better. The last reason I love grilling is because it’s just healthier.

Most times when we grill I just marinate the meat for a few hours and my husband throws it on the grill. There isn’t a whole lot of thought to it and I basically throw in any seasonings and spices I think would be good that day. Every now and then I do follow a recipe when I’m looking for something a little bit different.

I get a CSA share every week and I’m always looking for ways to use it up. I saw a recipe for Greek pork kebabs with Tzatziki sauce that sounded wonderful! It used up my peppers, onions, and cucumbers.

The marinade really flavored the meat and softened it up for the grill. Then I made the tangy Tzatziki sauce to serve on the side. I served it all over a bed of rice.

The kabobs tasted great with the vegetables. The vinegar added a tartness and the spices were spot on. It was nice having a dipping sauce to give the kabobs some added flavor as well.

Pro Tips and Substitutions:

If you don’t have fresh oregano you can substitute 2 teaspoons of dried oregano in the pork marinade.

Feel free to add whatever vegetables you like on the kabobs. I just used what I had on hand. Other good grilled vegetables include mushrooms, zucchini, squash, or cherry tomatoes.

While nothing beats homemade Tzatziki, you can buy store bought to save time.
