Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 whole Strawberries
- 20 pieces Pineapple chunks
- 20 whole Seedless grapes
- 3 whole Kiwi
- 20 pieces Melon (e.g., cantaloupe or honeydew), cubed
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Tequila
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey

Instructions
Wash all fruits thoroughly and pat them dry.
Hull the strawberries and cut them in half if they're large.
Peel the kiwi and cut it into bite-sized chunks.
Prepare the melon by scooping or cubing it into evenly sized pieces.
Thread the fruits onto the skewers, alternating them to create a colorful assortment. For example, start with a strawberry, then a grape, followed by a pineapple chunk, a piece of kiwi, and a melon cube. Repeat until all skewers are filled.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the lime juice, tequila, orange zest, and honey. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the margarita dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the fruit kabobs on a platter alongside the margarita dip. For an extra touch, garnish the dip with a sprinkle of lime zest or a small slice of lime.
