A quick and easy patriotic snack featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, and white grapes on wooden skewers served with a creamy honey-vanilla Greek yogurt dip. Perfect for summer gatherings, picnics, or a light, refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • Blueberries, washed and dried
  • Seedless white grapes, washed
  • Wooden skewers, about 6-8 inches long
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, full-fat recommended
  • 2 tablespoons honey, raw or mild-flavored
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash all fruit thoroughly under cold water. Hull the strawberries by cutting off their leafy tops and slice them in half lengthwise. Pat the blueberries and white grapes dry with a paper towel.
  2. Make the Yogurt Dip (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) plain Greek yogurt with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice if desired. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Assemble the Kabobs (5-7 minutes): Thread the fruit onto wooden skewers in a repeating pattern: one strawberry half (red), followed by two blueberries (blue), then two white grapes (white). Repeat until the skewer is full, leaving about an inch free at the bottom for holding.
  4. Arrange and Serve: Place the finished kabobs on a serving platter. Serve with the creamy yogurt dip on the side in a small bowl. Garnish the dip with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh mint leaves if desired.
  5. Storage Tips: Cover the dip tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate if not serving immediately. Eat assembled kabobs within 2 hours for freshness. Prep fruit ahead and assemble just before serving to avoid sogginess.

Notes

Use fresh, firm fruit to avoid soggy kabobs. Whisk yogurt dip well to dissolve honey completely. Chill dip before serving for best texture. Avoid over-skewering to prevent fruit falling off. For dairy-free dip, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt. Large strawberries can be quartered for easier eating. Store fruit and dip separately if prepping ahead.
