Refreshing skewers with fresh fruits and cheeses ready in 15 minutes.
# What You'll Need:
→ Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
04 - 1 cup pineapple chunks
→ Cheese

→ Garnish
07 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves

# Method:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut in half if large. Pat everything completely dry to prevent sogginess.
02 - Cut both cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes. Keep pieces consistent for even threading and attractive presentation.
03 - Thread each skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes. Vary colors and textures—start and end with different fruits for visual interest. Pack ingredients snugly but don't overcrowd.
04 - Arrange kabobs on a serving platter. Scatter fresh mint leaves over the top. Serve immediately chilled or at room temperature.
