Thread those on the skewers and do the final slice. Sear the zucchini skewers. Make the dressing and finish the pasta salad. Serve the skewers on top of the pasta.

Grilled Zucchini Skewers

Zucchini grills up beautifully when cut into disks, skewered and laid on the grill with a rub of olive oil, salt & pepper. Embellish the flavor with your favorite herbs to make this fancy and make it your own. Just chop the herbs up & sprinkle on afterwards.

Caprese Skewers

Only Italy, the birth place of the Slow Food Movement would have a flag representing their favorite combo- tomatoes, basil, mozzarella. Sliced and pressed on to skewers makes it surprisingly more exciting. Find tomatoes that are a similar size to your ball of mozzarella.

Baby Greens Pasta Salad

More greens than pasta are tossed with a simple vinaigrette. Mix and match your baby greens and fresh herbs as available. Traditional basil works well, but any other variety such as Thai basil or lemon basil can work nicely too. Add more veggies, nuts or cheeses to liven it up or just leave this as simple goodness.
