These fresh rainbow fruit kabobs with creamy yogurt dip are a colorful, light, and fuss-free snack perfect for summer gatherings. They combine juicy fruits threaded on skewers with a tangy, smooth yogurt dip for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Pineapple chunks (fresh preferred)
  • Kiwi slices, peeled
  • Red grapes, halved
  • Blueberries
  • Mango chunks (optional)
  • 1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of half a lime (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fruits under cold water. Hull and halve the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi, cut pineapple and mango into bite-sized chunks, and halve grapes if large. Pat dry with paper towels to avoid watery kabobs. (About 15 minutes)
  2. In a bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract, and the zest of half a lime if using. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired. (5 minutes)
  3. Thread fruit pieces onto each skewer, alternating colors to create a rainbow effect. Start with a strawberry half, followed by pineapple, kiwi, grape, blueberry, and mango. Leave about an inch at the bottom of the skewer for holding. (10-15 minutes)
  4. Lay the fruit kabobs neatly on a serving platter. Place the creamy yogurt dip in a small bowl on the side for dipping. (2 minutes)

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Keep fruit chilled until just before serving to maintain freshness. Assemble kabobs right before eating to avoid sogginess. For vegan dip, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Lightly grilling pineapple or mango adds smoky flavor.
