A simple, fresh, and vibrant summer snack featuring colorful fruit kabobs paired with a creamy honey yogurt dip. Perfect for quick, healthy, and crowd-pleasing snacking.

Ingredients

  • Watermelon, seedless, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Cantaloupe, peeled and cubed
  • Green grapes, seedless
  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Pineapple chunks
  • Blueberries
  • Kiwi, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • Wooden or bamboo skewers, 6-inch length
  • Greek yogurt, plain, full-fat or low-fat (1 cup)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Pure vanilla extract (½ teaspoon)
  • Fresh lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10-15 minutes): Wash all the fresh fruit thoroughly. Peel and cube the watermelon and cantaloupe into roughly 1-inch pieces. Hull strawberries and halve them if large. Core and slice kiwi into rounds about ¼-inch thick. Cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks, trimming away the tough core. Remove grapes from stems and rinse. Set aside a few blueberries for snacking.
  2. Make the Honey Yogurt Dip (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey and ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) pure vanilla extract. Zest half a lemon finely and stir it in for a zingy brightness. Whisk gently until smooth and creamy. Taste and add a little more honey if you like it sweeter. Chill the dip in the fridge while assembling kabobs.
  3. Assemble the Kabobs (10 minutes): Take one skewer and thread fruit in rainbow order: start with watermelon (red), then cantaloupe (orange), pineapple (yellow), green grapes (green), kiwi (green), strawberries (red), and finish with blueberries (blue/purple). Repeat the pattern if your skewer is long. Aim for about 6-8 pieces per kabob, leaving a little space at each end for easy handling.
  4. Plate and Serve: Arrange the kabobs on a serving platter. Spoon the creamy honey yogurt dip into a small bowl in the center or on the side. Garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest or a few fresh mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use if grilling to prevent burning. Use firm, ripe fruit to avoid mushy kabobs. Keep dip chilled and assemble kabobs just before serving for best freshness. Substitute coconut or almond yogurt and agave syrup for a dairy-free and vegan version.
