Fresh fruits and creamy cheeses threaded on skewers for a colorful party appetizer.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple chunks
→ Cheese
05 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
06 - 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
→ Garnish
07 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves
→ Assembly Tools
08 - 12 wooden skewers
# How-To Steps:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and halve them if large. Ensure grapes are clean and pineapple chunks are ready for threading.
02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even threading and consistent presentation across all kabobs.
03 - Thread each skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes, mixing colors and flavors for maximum visual appeal. Create 12 complete kabobs.
04 - Arrange finished kabots on a serving platter in a circular or linear pattern. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top if desired.
05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. For optimal freshness, enjoy within 2 hours of assembly.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sweet and salty combination hits every craving at once without any cooking required
- These disappear faster than anything else on the table and people think you spent forever on them
02 -
- Dry your fruit completely after washing or the water will make the cheese slide right off the skewers
- Room temperature cheese cuts much cleaner than cold, so take it out of the fridge about thirty minutes before you start prep
03 -
- Use a serrated knife for the cheese—it cuts through without dragging or crumbling
- Push everything onto the skewers gently but firmly so nothing spins around when someone tries to take a bite
