Ingredients
Fruits
- Fresh Strawberries, hulled and cut into bite-sized pieces – 1 cup
- Seedless Grapes, patted dry – 1 cup
- Kiwi, peeled and sliced – 1 cup
- Pineapple Chunks – 1 cup
- Blueberries, patted dry – 1 cup
- Mango Cubes – 1 cup
Creamy Dip
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt – 1 cup
- Honey – 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
- Fresh Lime Juice – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Wash all fruits thoroughly. Hull the strawberries and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the kiwi, cube the mango and pineapple, and pat the grapes and blueberries dry to avoid soggy skewers.
- Assemble the Skewers: Using wooden skewers, thread the fruit pieces in a rainbow order—start with red strawberries, then grapes, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mango, repeating the sequence to fill each skewer.
- Make the Creamy Dip: In a small bowl, combine the vanilla Greek yogurt, honey, and fresh lime juice. Stir well until smooth and taste to adjust the sweetness or tanginess to your liking.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the skewers on a platter and place the creamy dip in a small bowl in the center for dipping. Serve immediately for the freshest taste and crunch.
Notes
- Use fresh and firm fruits to ensure they hold well on skewers without becoming mushy.
- Cut fruits into similar-sized pieces for even presentation and balanced bites.
- Refrigerate the skewers and dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors and keep everything crisp.
- Lightly brush fruits like pineapple and mango with a bit of lime juice to prevent browning and add freshness.
- Adjust the honey in the dip gradually, tasting as you go to avoid overpowering the natural fruit flavors.
