Delicious Fruit And Cheese Kabobs (Printable)
Refreshing skewers with fresh fruits and cheeses, ideal for parties and gatherings.
# What You’ll 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
→ Equipment
08 - 12 wooden skewers
# Directions:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they're large. Leave grapes whole and ensure pineapple chunks are bite-sized.
02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes, ensuring consistent sizing for even skewering and attractive presentation.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with alternating patterns of fruits and cheese cubes. Vary the color sequence and ingredient combinations for maximum visual appeal—mix red grapes with white cheese, green grapes with cheddar, and strawberries with pineapple pieces.
04 - Arrange finished kabods on a decorative serving platter. Scatter fresh mint leaves over and around the skewers as a fragrant garnish.
05 - Serve chilled straight from refrigeration or allow to come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. Best enjoyed immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
