Equipment

  • Bamboo skewers
  • Melon baller
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 12 cubes watermelon approximately 2 cups
  • 12 cubes pineapple approximately 2 cups
  • 12 cubes cantaloupe approximately 2 cups
  • 12 fresh strawberries
  • 3 mangoes peeled and cubed
  • 12 blackberries
  • 3 kiwi peeled, halved and sliced

Fruit Dip

  • 4 ounces strawberry yogurt
  • 4 ounces whipped topping

Instructions
 

Assemble the Skewers

  • Thread the prepared fruit onto wooden skewers, keeping the pieces snug but not smashed. For a bold rainbow look, follow the ROYGBIV order: start with strawberry, followed by cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, and finish with a blackberry for a dramatic dark tip.

Mix the Dip

  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the strawberry yogurt and whipped topping. Stir gently until the mixture is fluffy and uniform, ensuring there are no streaks and the dip holds soft peaks on a spoon.

Plate for Serving

  • Arrange the fruit kabobs in a single layer on a serving platter to keep them crisp and glossy. Place the strawberry dip in a bowl alongside the skewers and garnish the tray with extra mint leaves for a fresh finish.

Notes

Rainbow Order Guide: Build your skewers from warm to cool tones (strawberry to blackberry) to make the tray look professional and event ready.
Structural Integrity: Use the anchor technique by placing firmer fruits like melon or pineapple at the bottom of the skewer to prevent softer fruits like mango from sliding down.
Storage Advice: These are best when fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 12 hours. Avoid freezing, as it ruins the cellular structure and makes the fruit mushy.
