Mini skewers featuring a refreshing combination of grapes, melon, strawberry, and pineapple, served with a sweet and creamy honey yogurt dip.
Ingredients
- •1 cup Seedless Grapes
- •1.5 cups Cantaloupe or Honeydew Melon (cubed into 1-inch pieces)
- •1 cup Fresh Strawberries (hulled and halved if large)
- •1 cup Fresh Pineapple (cubed into 1-inch pieces)
- •12 count Small Wooden Skewers (6-8 inches long)
- •1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- •3 tablespoons Honey (or to taste)
- •0.5 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- 1.
Thoroughly wash all fruits. Hull the strawberries and halve any large ones. Peel and core the pineapple, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Cut the melon (cantaloupe or honeydew) into 1-inch cubes.
- 2.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste the dip and adjust the sweetness with more honey if desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- 3.
Carefully thread the prepared fruit onto the wooden skewers, alternating colors and types of fruit for an appealing presentation. Aim for 3-4 pieces of fruit per skewer, creating approximately 8-12 skewers in total.
- 4.
Arrange the fruit skewers beautifully on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the chilled honey yogurt dip on the side for dipping.
Tips
- 💡**Fruit Selection**: Always choose ripe, firm fruits for the best flavor and texture. Seasonal fruits will offer the freshest taste.
- 💡**Make Ahead**: The honey yogurt dip can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The fruit can be prepped a few hours ahead and stored separately in the fridge, then assembled just before serving to ensure freshness.
- 💡**Presentation Enhancements**: For an extra touch, garnish the dip with a light sprinkle of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, or a few fresh mint leaves before serving.
- 💡**Variety is Key**: Feel free to substitute or add other fruits like blueberries, kiwi, mango, or even banana slices (add banana just before serving to prevent browning) based on seasonal availability and personal preference.
