    Grilled Asian Tofu Skewers to Keep Your Summer Menu Fresh

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on July 29, 2022 Appetizers, Dairy-Free Recipes, Entrees

    Kebabs are a wonderful dairy-free entree, especially in summer. Not only are they healthy and naturally allergy-friendly, they’re also easy to customize with different proteins, produce, and seasonings. These grilled Asian tofu skewers are also vegan and plant-based, and threaded with grapes for a seasonal twist. But don’t worry, if you’re timid on the grapes, we have other options!

    Grilled Asian Tofu Skewers to Keep Your Summer Menu Fresh

    This recipe for grilled Asian tofu skewers was originally shared with us by the California Table Grape Commission. We originally shared it about six years ago, but have since updated the recipe, and added a few options.

    Grapes on Kebabs?

    Try it! You will be surprised. Grapes not only add a little color pop to the presentation, they also have a sweet, juicy, crisp flavor that pairs perfectly with the Asian-inspired ingredients. And, they are reportedly an excellent source of vitamin K, which could be beneficial for bones, especially when paired with mineral-rich tofu.

    What Can I Use instead of Grapes?

    As noted, we like mushrooms best, and marinate them with the tofu. Other great options include zucchini chunks or bell pepper slices. Using vegetables instead of grapes will naturally lower the calories, carbohydrates, and sugars by a little.
