Refreshing party appetizer featuring fresh grapes, strawberries, pineapple, and cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses on skewers.

# What you'll need:

01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes

02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes

03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved

04 - 1 cup pineapple chunks

05 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

06 - 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

07 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves

08 - 12 wooden skewers

01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they are large.

02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes for consistent threading onto skewers.

03 - Thread each skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes, mixing colors for visual appeal.

04 - Arrange finished kabobs on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy immediately for best freshness and texture.

01 -

The sweet and creamy combination makes everyone gravitate toward the platter instantly
You can assemble these hours ahead and they actually get better as flavors mingle

02 -

Dry fruit thoroughly before threading, as excess water makes the cheese slippery and creates messy platters
Room temperature cheese threads more easily than cold from the fridge, so let it sit out for 20 minutes before cutting

03 -

Use two hands to thread, pushing ingredients gently but firmly to avoid crushing soft fruit
End each kabob with the same ingredient for a polished, professional appearance
