Tuna and Tomato Kabobs Recipe

A lime-herb marinade adds great taste to the tuna and vegetables on these attractive skewers. “I lightened this up by using tuna in place of the beef cubes called for in the original recipe. Halibut or swordfish work well, too,” says Edrie O’Brien, of Denver, Colorado.
