Fruit Salad Kabobs

I first discovered the fabulous idea of making a collage with food on Pinterest a few months ago. They are really really CUTE, like a veggie Elmo face and fruit kabobs rainbow. Finally, an opportunity to execute this fun idea came up when we organized a party for a lovely friend recently. I joked that the "only" reason I wanted to host the party was so that I could make these kabobs.



They were not difficult to make, though it did required some patience and gentleness while handling the fruit pieces. Besides, there are sooooo many other possibilities of fruits that can be used. I imagine you could do this with vegetables as well. Since I do not have a big nice platter, I decided to try a vase - almost like an edible arrangement. It turned out quite well. Not only that it was fun to make, it was fun to eat as well! ^_^



Fruit Kabobs
Ingredients:
Strawberries
Cantaloupe
Pineapple
Kiwis
Blueberries
Red grapes
Skewers


Directions:
Cut fruit into pieces - not too small so that it will not break when the skewer goes through it.
Put each fruit onto the skewer, starting from the red grapes
Arrange kabobs in a rainbow shape on a platter or in a vase like a bouquet



Was it delicious? Eww - So-so - Okay - Oh yum! - Delicioso
Was it challenging to make? (Easy) 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 (Very hard)
Would I make it again? Oh NO! - We'll see - Maybe - Likely - Absolutely


As mentioned earlier in the post, I made this for a party. Besides this, mini spinach phyllo cups, barbecued brisket and grilled chicken from earlier entries were served as well. Go check those out!
