Fruit and Cheese Kabobs


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 20 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Kabobs:

  • 12 wooden skewers or metal skewers
  • 1 cup cubed cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cubed mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1 cup melon (such as cantaloupe or honeydew), cubed
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Assemble the Kabobs

  1. Prepare the Skewers: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes to prevent them from burning during assembly (if grilling). If you’re using metal skewers, you’re good to go!
  2. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and prepare your fruit by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Cube the cheese into similar-sized pieces to match the fruit.
  3. Skewer the Ingredients: Begin by threading the ingredients onto the skewers. Alternate between pieces of fruit and cheese for variety and color. You can start with cheese, then add fruit, or mix them up—it’s up to you! For a balanced kabob, aim to have 2-3 pieces of fruit and cheese per skewer.
  4. Garnish: If desired, place a fresh mint leaf at the top of each skewer for a pop of color and added flavor.

Serving the Kabobs

  1. Arrange on a Platter: Once your kabobs are assembled, arrange them neatly on a serving platter.
  2. Serve: These kabobs can be served immediately, or you can chill them in the fridge for a little while before serving.
  3. Add a Dip: Serve with a honey or balsamic glaze for dipping, or enjoy them on their own!
