Notes
Greek Souvlaki is traditionally made with chicken, lamb, or pork. In these Triple Combination Skewers, we have prepared all three meats and combined them onto one skewer and they are simply fabulous. The Tzatziki sauce brings all the flavors together. These are wonderful served with a nice Greek salad and an ice-cold beer.
Tips: If you are not a fan of lamb, tender beef cubes such as beef tenderloin or ribeye can be substituted. The best flavor will be achieved by marinating wooden skewers and each of the meats for 2 hours. If using zip lock bags, place the sealed bags into a casserole dish in the refrigerator just in case of leakage.
