Ingredients
Cheese
- 8 Sargento® Reduced Fat Colby-Jack Cheese Snacks
Fruit
- 24 green seedless grapes
- 24 small strawberries
Dip
- 4 oz. low fat vanilla yogurt
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare Cheese: Cut each of the 8 reduced fat Colby-Jack cheese snacks crosswise into 3 pieces to create 24 cheese cubes suitable for skewering.
- Assemble Kabobs: Using skewers, alternate threading the cheese pieces with green seedless grapes and small strawberries to form colorful and balanced kabobs.
- Make the Dip: In a small bowl, drizzle honey over the low fat vanilla yogurt and gently mix to combine the sweetness evenly throughout the dip.
- Serve: Present the kabobs alongside the honey-vanilla yogurt dip for easy dipping and enjoying.
Notes
- You can substitute the fruit with other seasonal berries or fruits like blueberries or apple slices for variation.
- For a vegan option, replace cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative and use a dairy-free yogurt.
- To increase protein content, consider using full-fat cheese but adjust the nutrition accordingly.
- These kabobs are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving.
- Be cautious when skewering to ensure pieces are secure but not overly pierced to avoid fruit or cheese breaking apart.
