Ingredients
Scale
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
- Seedless grapes (red and green for contrast)
- Melon balls (cantaloupe or honeydew)
- Kiwis, peeled and sliced into thick rounds
- Mango, peeled and cubed (firm, ripe mango is best)
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey (raw or local)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
- Chopped fresh mint leaves (optional garnish)
- Toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash all the fruit thoroughly. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and cube the mango and kiwi, and create melon balls with a baller or spoon. Cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Keep pieces roughly the same size for easy skewering and balanced bites.
- Make the Yogurt Dip (5 minutes): In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (8 fl oz) of plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) honey, 1 teaspoon (0.17 fl oz) vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon (0.5 fl oz) fresh lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add a pinch of ground cinnamon if desired. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Assemble the Kabobs (10 minutes): Thread the fruit onto skewers in a colorful pattern—grape, pineapple, strawberry, melon, mango, kiwi, repeating. Leave a little space between pieces to avoid squishing.
- Chill if Desired (Optional): Serve immediately or refrigerate kabobs for 15–20 minutes for a cool snack. Chill the dip separately until ready to serve.
- Serve: Arrange kabobs on a platter with a bowl of creamy yogurt dip in the center. Garnish the dip with chopped mint or toasted coconut flakes if desired.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning if grilling. Use firm fruit to avoid mushy kabobs. The yogurt dip can separate if left too long; stir before serving. Store dip separately from fruit kabobs for best freshness. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk yogurt for dairy-free and vegan versions. Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar.
