Fruit Kabobs with Honey Almond Yogurt dip are a deliciously simple and impressive summer treat. The perfect healthy party snack to please a crowd! This recipe is in partnership with ALDI.

You have not lived until you’ve laid mouth on grilled fruit.

When the fruit meets the flame, it’s nothing short of life changing.

Can you believe that grilling season is already upon us? I still can’t get over the fact that I’ve never sunk my teeth into sweet and smoky grilled fruit until this moment.

‘Tis a shock, considering the level of adoration I have for all things smoky. Give this gal a mezcal margarita and I’m happy as a clam.

You may remember my Chocolate Fruit Kabobs, but today we’re taking fruit to another level. Grilled fruit makes an impressive, fun, and simple side dish, appetizer, or treat. (I would’ve never guessed that you can grill bananas, but they’re my favorite part!)

How perfect would this be for your Fourth of July celebration?!

The best fruit for grilling

You want fruit that holds its shape here. It should be firm, not overly ripe, so it doesn’t fall apart on the grill.

I’ve been so grateful for ALDI lately for their epic selection of summery staples to make all my outdoor barbecues come true. Total proof that eating high-quality, fresh food does not have to be difficult or expensive.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been more appreciative of a small grocery store layout where what I need is easy to find.

My favorite grilling fruits are:

• just ripe bananas (mine were still a little green)
• peaches
• watermelon
• strawberries
• pineapple

How to make fruit kabobs

The best part about this recipe is how easy it comes together!

First, preheat the grill to medium (around 350F) and brush it with oil to prevent sticking.

Chop your fruit into 1-2 inch chunks or segments. It doesn’t have to be perfect…we’re going for rustic here. Just make sure they’re big enough that they don’t fall apart on the grill.

Next, slide them onto your skewers of choice. I used wooden ones that I ran under cool water for a while to avoid burning but if you have metal, that’s great, too. This recipe makes about five kabobs. I went with a red and white color scheme, but the order is totally up to you.

Lastly, grill the fruit for about 3-5 minutes per side, watching carefully so the fruit doesn’t burn. We’re going for those flavorful grill marks!

What to serve with fruit kabobs

This fruit is fabulous in its own right, but why not amplify all that refreshing deliciousness with a creamy dip?

My favorite is this honey almond yogurt dip made with thick greek yogurt, a bit of goat cheese for added flavor intrigue, raw honey for sweetness, a splash of vanilla, and chopped almonds for texture’s sake. All staples you can find at ALDI!

Serve ’em up as a meal with broccoli salad, grilled sweet potatoes, and  black bean burgers.

Now tell me: are you a skewer or a kabob person?

2. Assemble by threading fruit onto skewers in the following order: one strawberry, one banana chunk, one watermelon chunk, one peach chunk, and one more strawberry. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet.
3. Place kabobs on grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side, or until grill marks have formed. Remove from grill and transfer to a plate. Garnish with blueberries if desired.
4. Make dip by combining goat cheese, yogurt, honey, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat mixture until smooth and creamy. Stir in most of the crushed almonds just before serving, reserving a handful for garnish. Serve dip with fruit kabobs.
