Colorful party kebabs featuring smoky sausage and vibrant fruits and vegetables, perfect for entertaining guests and adding a fun, flavorful touch to any gathering.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Broil Smok-Y-Link sausage until lightly browned.
- Let the sausage cool slightly and cut into 4 bite-size pieces.
- On party picks, alternate pieces of sausage links with pineapple tidbits, pickle slices, olives, maraschino cherries, cocktail onions, or tiny cherry tomatoes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoky flavor, consider grilling the Smok-Y-Link sausage instead of broiling. If you want to add more color and nutrition, you can substitute bell pepper pieces for some of the pineapple or replace olives with artichoke hearts. Experiment with different combinations of party pick ingredients to suit your taste, and don't hesitate to add in vegetables like zucchini or squash.
