Fresh Fruit Kabobs
This is basically fruit salad - on a stick! It's a great, healthy side. It does take a bit of time to assemble, but the results look stunning at a baby shower, birthday party, or cookout! The goal is to make the skewer colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue. You can, however, substitute any fruit you'd like. You can also reverse the order in which you put the fruit on the skewer, and dip the bottom of the strawberry in chocolate. Have fun!

Cut the fruit that is not already small into 1-inch, or bite-size, chunks.
First, skewer the strawberry.
Then, skewer the cantelope or orange.
Then, skewer the pineapple.
Then, skewer the kiwifruit or honewdew melon.
