Coconut fruit kabobs will please every fruit lover and make a believer out of those who don't like fruit that much (who would that be'?) Make them ahead for picnics, BBQs and parties or even BREAKFAST! They are healthy and everyone loves them. And make sure you make more than you think you'll need!
What you'll need:
- 1 medium-size red apple (unpeeled)
- 1 medium-size pear (unpeeled)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 20 unsweetened pineapple chunks
- 20 seedless red or green grapes
- 20 fresh strawberries (capped)
- Coconut Dressing (recipe below)
- 20 wooden skewers
This simple appetizer takes about 20 minutes to prepare and you can make the kabobs ahead of time and store in the refrigerator. I love that!
All you need to do is cut each apple and pear into 20 bite-size pieces. Place the cut fruit in a bowl and toss with the lemon juice gently. Not only does this add great flavor, it keeps the pear and apple bits from turning brown.
Next, alternate an apple, pear, grape, pineapple, and strawberry on a wooden skewer. Do this until all skewers are filled up.
Place skewers on a beautiful platter and put the Coconut dressing in the center. See the recipe for the dressing below.
Coconut Dressing:
- 1 1/2 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon flaked coconut
- 1 1/2 Tablespoon reduced-calorie orange marmalade
Simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. Serve with the kabobs. You can either drip a little dressing on each kabob, or make the dressing available for dipping.
Deeelish!
