Ingredients
  

For the Fruit Skewers:

1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 cup ripe mango, peeled and cubed

1 cup grapes (either red or green)

1 banana, sliced

Wooden or metal skewers for assembling

For the Yogurt Dip:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey (adjust based on your preferred sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional for extra flavor)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional, adds a lovely touch)

Instructions
 

Prep the Fruit: Begin by thoroughly washing all the fruits under cool water. Next, cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks, halve the strawberries, peel and slice the kiwi into rounds, cube the mango, and slice the banana into circles.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a wooden or metal skewer and start stringing the fruit pieces in a vibrant, eye-catching pattern. Begin with a chunk of pineapple, followed by a half strawberry, a slice of kiwi, and continue this colorful sequence, alternating fruit types. Aim to fit about 5-6 pieces of fruit per skewer for a delightful bite. Repeat this process until all the fruit has been used up.

      Make the Yogurt Dip: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon (if you choose to use it). Stir the mixture until all ingredients are blended well and the dip is creamy and smooth. Taste it and add more honey if you want a sweeter dip.

        Serve the Skewers: Elegantly arrange the assembled fruit skewers on a large serving platter. In the center, or alongside the skewers, place a small bowl of the creamy yogurt dip. For an added burst of color and aroma, garnish the dip with fresh mint leaves if desired.

          Enjoy! These tropical fruit skewers are not only refreshing but also serve as a healthy snack, a delicious dessert, or a vibrant centerpiece for any gathering.
