Grill And Chill This Fourth Of July Weekend With These 3 Mouthwatering Dishes

As the Fourth of July approaches and grilling season is officially underway, it’s time to think of some new ideas. Sure, you can serve burgers and hot dogs this holiday weekend (millions will) — but why not think outside the grilling box?

Like this Indian-inspired chicken kebob. Boneless chunks of chicken are marinated in yogurt, coconut milk, and spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin and chile powder. The chicken is placed on metal or wooden skewers (which need to be soaked in cold water so they don’t burn!) along with very thin slices of zucchini or summer squash and cherry tomatoes. It’s a simple dish that can be made ahead of time and served with cool, refreshing yogurt, rice and Indian-style bread or pita.
