Sweet and Tangy Pork Kabobs quick, simple, and the perfect last minute summer dinner idea!

I am in the camp of everything tastes better on a stick. Hot dogs, cotton candy, and popsicles are just a few of my favorites. That’s why I love kabobs! It’s like an entire meal all on a stick – or at least cooked on a stick.
Serving ideas vary.
Today, I’m bringing you my formula for super simple Sweet and Tangy Pork Kabobs. I hesitate to call this a full out recipe because it’s just so simple and ingredients can be swapped out depending on what you have in your fridge or what calls out your name in the produce section.
I love choosing pork kabobs because pork pairs so perfectly with this sweet/tangy combo. In this version, I picked up two thick, boneless center cut pork chops and cut them into in inch pieces. Then, the pork gets skewered onto metal skewers (or wooden skewers that you’ve soaked for 30 minutes before using) with sweet bell peppers, juicy pineapple, and fresh onions. Some simple salt and pepper for seasoning and a tangy vinegar sauce (either store bought or homemade) makes this recipe ready to go on the grill in just 15 minutes – 10 if you’re a fast chopper!
As I was saying, the great thing about this recipe is it’s adaptability. Try pairing the juicy pork with ripe peaches and zucchini or plums and broccoli. Sounds crazy, but it’s completely delicious!
