1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
herbs and spices

Put everything in the food processor except the oil. With the food processor on, pour in the oil slow enough so that it gets emulsified but not too slow, turn off the food processor as soon as the last of the oil goes in. Put everything in a ziplock back and push all the air out before you seal.

The salt comes from the soy sauce so there's no need to add additional salt. You can use whatever herbs and spices you like. Garlic and onion powder works well as do oregano, basil, rosemary(my favorite for pork), and/or thyme. Curry powder can make things quite interesting.

I prefer to cook the meat and veggies on different skewers.
