Ingredients
Scale
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Orange segments, peeled and pith removed
- Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
- Green grapes, halved
- Blueberries
- Kiwi slices, peeled and thick
- Red grapes or cherries (optional)
- Bamboo skewers or sturdy wooden sticks (about 6-inch length)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Prep the Fruit (About 15 minutes): Wash all fruit thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut in half lengthwise. Peel orange and separate into segments, removing white pith. Cut pineapple into 1-inch chunks. Slice kiwi into thick rounds about 1/3 inch thick. Halve grapes and blueberries if large. Dry fruit gently with paper towels.
- Make the Yogurt Dip (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness or lemon juice to taste. Optionally add a pinch of cinnamon. Chill if desired.
- Assemble the Kabobs (10 minutes): Thread fruit onto bamboo skewers in rainbow order: strawberry half, orange segment, pineapple chunk, green grape half, blueberry, kiwi slice, and repeat. Leave space between pieces for easy biting and vibrant colors.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange kabobs on a serving platter and place the creamy yogurt dip in a small bowl nearby for dipping.
Notes
Use ripe but firm fruit to avoid mushy kabobs. Dry fruit gently to prevent watery dip. Chill the dip for at least 15 minutes for best texture. Assemble kabobs just before serving to keep fruit fresh. Fresh lemon juice helps prevent browning. For dairy-free dip, substitute coconut or almond yogurt and use agave syrup instead of honey.
