A quick and festive fruit kabob recipe paired with a zesty honey lime dip, perfect for a light, refreshing snack or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Pineapple chunks, fresh or canned
  • Green grapes, seedless
  • Melon balls (cantaloupe or honeydew)
  • Blueberries
  • Kiwi slices, peeled (optional)
  • Honey (mild wildflower recommended)
  • Fresh lime juice (about 1-2 limes)
  • Lime zest
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Fresh mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Rinse all fruit thoroughly. Hull and halve strawberries, peel and slice kiwi, and use a melon baller or knife to cut melon into uniform pieces. Drain canned pineapple if using, or cut fresh pineapple into roughly 1-inch chunks. Pat dry any wet fruit with paper towels.
  2. Mix the Zesty Honey Lime Dip (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml), and 1 teaspoon (2 grams) lime zest. Stir until smooth. Add a pinch of salt and finely chopped mint if using. Chill until serving.
  3. Assemble the Kabobs (10 minutes): Thread the fruit onto skewers in a colorful pattern, alternating colors and shapes. Leave about an inch of space at the bottom of each skewer for handling.
  4. Chill and Serve: Place assembled kabobs on a platter and refrigerate for about 10 minutes. Serve fresh with the chilled honey lime dip on the side.

Notes

Soak bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. For a dairy-free dip, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Grilling the kabobs for 2-3 minutes per side adds a smoky flavor. Dry fruit well to prevent sogginess. Add a sprinkle of chili powder or Tajín seasoning for a spicy twist.
