Ingredients:

Vegetables:

2 medium red or white potatoes
1 cup firm or extra-firm tofu chunks
1 cup red, yellow or green bell pepper chunks
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 cup red onion chunks
1 cup white button mushrooms
1 cup zucchini or yellow squash chunks
1 cup cherry tomatoes

Marinade:

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon or lime juice
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tbs. maple syrup
2 tbs. minced garlic
2 tbs. chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Cook potatoes in salted water until fork tender; let cool and cut into 1-inch chunks.

2. Meanwhile, make the marinade by whisking together all ingredients in a small bowl. The marinade can be prepared in advance and stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.

3. Place potatoes and vegetables in a shallow dish or container. Pour the marinade over the vegetables. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

4. Prepare a grill to medium heat.

5. Remove vegetables from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Thread the vegetables onto skewers alternating colors.

6. Cook the skewers on the grill until the vegetables are lightly charred all over, about 10 minutes, basting several times with reserved marinade, turning occasionally.
