4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts separated)
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp ground turmeric

Instructions

1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes so they don't scorch on the grill.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, grated ginger, scallion whites, garlic, melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, and salt until combined.
