Ingredients

Scale
  • Watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes (seedless preferred)
  • Pineapple chunks, fresh or canned in juice
  • Green grapes, washed and halved if large
  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Blueberries, washed and patted dry
  • Kiwis, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • Mango, peeled and cubed (ripe but firm)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (for dairy-free option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Wash all the fruit thoroughly.
  2. Cut watermelon and mango into 1-inch cubes, pineapple into bite-sized chunks, strawberries hulled and halved, kiwis peeled and sliced into rounds, and grapes halved if large. Ensure pieces are roughly uniform in size.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt with 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 2 tablespoons honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir in fresh mint leaves if using. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed.
  4. Take one skewer and thread the fruit pieces in a rainbow order: watermelon, pineapple, green grape, kiwi, mango, strawberry, blueberry. Repeat until all fruit is used, usually about 6-8 pieces per skewer. Do not pack fruit too tightly.
  5. Place the kabobs on a platter and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes if desired.
  6. Serve the kabobs alongside the honey lime dip and enjoy.

Notes

Pat fruit dry before skewering to avoid watery kabobs. Use ripe but firm fruit for best texture. Mix the honey lime dip fresh just before serving for optimal flavor. Store leftover kabobs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, keeping dip separate. For a dairy-free dip, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Optional variations include adding cayenne pepper for spice, chopped nuts for crunch, or a chocolate drizzle for dessert.
