- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 10 slices bacon, cut in half (optional)

Instructions

- If you are using wooden skewers soak them for an hour before using so they don't burn.
- Drain the meat, reserving the marinade in a bowl. If using the bacon, wrap it around the meat and secure with a toothpick.
- Alternate the meat and vegetables on 4 skewers or more if you have short skewers. Grill the kabobs over medium hot coals for 15 minutes or until the desired degree of doneness While they are cooking, turn and baste the kabobs frequently with the reserved marinade.

Tips and Variations:
- You can use many different salad dressings instead of the Russian. Catalina works really well because it has a bit of sweetness. Italian dressing is delicious too, but obviously a less sweet taste.
- If you need this recipe to be gluten free make sure your dressing has no gluten. A homemade salad dressing would be best.
- A mix of colored peppers looks great on the plate. You are using red tomatoes, so try a mix of green and yellow peppers. Food that looks good has more appeal.
- If you don’t have cherry or grape tomatoes, cut the tomatoes into wedges and skewer them.
