Fruit And Cheese Kabobs

by Myra Hope

I’m totally going to post a Blissdom recap…once I finally get over the awful Blissdom crud that has overtaken my body and Ridley’s too. Until then here’s a super fast and easy {and healthy} appetizer for you to drool over.

I made these fruit and cheese kabobs for Ridley’s birthday party a couple of weeks ago and they were a wonderful hit!

Fruit And Cheese Kabobs

Fruit – I used strawberries, pineapple and red and green grapes
Cheese cubes – I used colby and cheddar
Iceberg lettuce
Bamboo Skewers

Wash and cut up the fruit and then alternate fruit and cheese on each skewer. I initially thought I would leave the head of lettuce whole so the skewers would be secure, but my sweet mother-in-law was extra helpful and washed the lettuce and tore it in pieces. At first I thought it was going to be a total flop, but truly it worked out okay.

I’ve seen kabobs displayed in whole heads of iceberg lettuce on a platter, but since I already planned to use a trifle bowl, a potential fail was averted.

Isn’t it pretty?

I love that it looks a little like Spring….which I wish was closer than it is!

Do you make any kind of kabobs? I’d love to hear about your favorites so I can use up the leftover skewers that I have on hand!

I’ve done something similar, but I used a pineapple as my base to hold the skewers. I used shorter skewers, though. I like the lettuce idea!!

I make fruit kabobs, but instead of cheese I add large marshmellows to hold each end on, and sometimes add cantaloupe, cherries, and kiwi.

These look great! I am going to make some for a women’s lunch I am planning in a few weeks. They remind me of the mini kabobs I made for my daughter’s bridal shower!
