Delicious Fruit and Cheese Kabobs (Printable)
Refreshing skewers with fresh fruits and creamy cheeses—ideal for any gathering.
# What You 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
→ Extras
08 - 12 wooden skewers
# Directions:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they are large. Ensure grapes are removed from stems and pineapple is cut into bite-sized chunks.
02 - Cut both cheddar and Monterey Jack (or mozzarella) cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes. Keep pieces consistent for even threading onto skewers.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes, varying colors and flavors for maximum visual appeal. Leave enough space at each end for easy handling.
04 - Arrange finished kabobs on a serving platter in a decorative pattern. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top for color contrast, if desired.
05 - Serve immediately while cheese is firm and fruits are at peak freshness. Can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- These look stunning on a platter but take literally minutes to assemble
- The sweet salty combo keeps people coming back for one more
02 -
- Room temperature cheese cubes are so much better than cold ones straight from the fridge
- Cut ingredients into similar sizes so nothing falls off when someone takes a bite
03 -
- Push ingredients gently so the skewer goes through without mushing soft fruits
- End each skewer with something sturdy like a grape or cheese cube to keep everything secure
