Ingredients
Scale
- Strawberries, hulled and halved
- Pineapple chunks, fresh
- Kiwi slices, peeled
- Green grapes, seedless
- Blueberries
- Red grapes, seedless
- Mango chunks, ripe (optional)
- 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Wash all the fruit thoroughly. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi into thick rounds, and cut the pineapple and mango into bite-sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces). Make sure the grapes and blueberries are dry before threading.
- Take a skewer and start threading the fruit in rainbow order—red (strawberries), orange/yellow (pineapple or mango), green (kiwi and grapes), blue (blueberries), and purple/red (red grapes). Alternate colors for a vibrant look. Don’t pack them too tightly, but close enough so the kabob feels full and colorful.
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup (8 fl oz) plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Taste and add more honey if desired.
- Optionally refrigerate the dip and kabobs for 10 minutes to let flavors meld and keep cool.
- Arrange the kabobs on a platter with a small bowl of the creamy honey yogurt dip on the side for dipping.
Notes
Use ripe but firm fruit to prevent kabobs from falling apart. Thread fruit in rainbow order for visual appeal and balanced flavors. Mix dip just before serving to keep it smooth. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt and honey with agave or maple syrup.
