Pork and sweet pepper kebabs


This pork kebab recipe comes from Cooking Light, and it is suuuuuuuuper simple.  The marinade gives the pork tons of flavor, and 'tis the season for grilling, right?  The sweet peppers are great too, but they're really a separate side dish, so feel free to substitute on that one.

4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch cubes 
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
16 mini bell peppers
Cooking spray 

Instructions:

1.  Place first 7 ingredients in a large zip-top bag, stirring well. Add pork; seal bag. Refrigerate 1 hour, turning after 30 minutes.
