Ingredients

• Fruit: 8 large strawberries, hulled and halved; 1 cup mandarin orange segments (fresh or canned, drained); 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks; 1 cup green grapes; 1 cup blueberries; 1 cup red grapes
• Yogurt Dip: 1 cup plain Greek yogurt; 2 tablespoons honey; 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice; 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Wash and prepare all fruit. Slice strawberries in half if large; cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks if needed.

Step 2: Assemble the Kabobs

Thread fruit onto 8 wooden skewers in rainbow order: strawberry, orange, pineapple, green grape, blueberry, red grape.

Step 3: Make the Yogurt Dip

In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, honey, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.

Step 4: Serve

Arrange fruit kabobs on a serving platter. Serve with the yogurt dip on the side.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For the best results, use firm, ripe fruit that won't fall apart when threaded onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, you can soak them in water for 10 minutes beforehand to prevent splintering. Keep the fruit kabobs chilled until serving time to maintain their freshness and crispness. The yogurt dip can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap or add fruits as desired to match the rainbow theme—kiwi works wonderfully for green, and blackberries add a rich purple hue. For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. You can also add a sprinkle of shredded coconut or mini marshmallows to the ends of the skewers for extra fun. For adults, consider adding a splash of rum or orange liqueur to the yogurt dip.

Serviervorschläge

These rainbow fruit kabobs are perfect for St. Patrick's Day parties, birthday celebrations, or as a healthy after-school snack. Arrange them on a large platter with the yogurt dip in the center for a stunning presentation. Pair with sparkling water infused with mint or a light white wine for adults.
