| 1/4 cup | non-fat yogurt |
| 1 Tbsp | honey |
| 1/2 tsp | pure vanilla extract |
| 1 tsp | balsamic vinegar |
| 8 ounces | fresh pineapple chunks |
| fresh mint (finely chopped) | |
| spray grapeseed oil |
Combine the yogurt, honey, vanilla extract and vinegar in a small bowl. Wisk together until well blended. The sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a non-stick grill pan inside.
While the oven is heating place the pineapple chunks onto wooden skewers. Leave a slight gap between each pineapple chunk.
When the pan is hot sprinkle the chopped mint over the pineapple. Spray the pan very lightly with grapeseed oil and place the kabobs in the grill pan. Return the pan to the oven and cook for 5 minutes and turn. Turn every 5 minutes cooking for a total of 15 minutes.
Serve with the sauce in small dishes on the side.
