Easy Citrus Kabobs

Last night I had a pound of kabobs to cook and no energy to go to the grocery store and buy specific ingredients for a marinade. I did, however, have a lemon.

I've been on a kick to find light, summer recipes for the venison. When it's 90 degrees, a stew just doesn't work. This citrus marinade was very refreshing...the perfect taste for a hot summer night!

Venison Citrus Kabobs
1 lb venison, cubed for skewers
1/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice (I only had one lemon, so I used lime juice)
1 lemon, sliced
1 small sweet onion, sliced

Put all ingredients in a baggie, mix, and marinade in refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours. Put meat on skewers and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side (cook to medium or medium rare, which doesn't take long with venison).

Yum. Very light and refreshing. I sauteed the onion slices in olive oil, which was a nice side to the meat, and served it all with rice.

It was sooo hot last night! Lite is a good idea! To to tune of If I had a hammer: "If I had a lemon, I'd squeeze it on some venison, I'd cook it on the grill, and share it with my guy!"
