Notes
Pro Tips

Choose ripe but firm fruit that won't fall off skewers. Alternate colors for visual appeal. Full-fat Greek yogurt makes the creamiest dip. If making ahead, store skewers flat and covered to prevent fruit from drying out. Bring yogurt to room temperature for better flavor.

History & Origin

Fruit skewers became a party staple in American entertaining as a lighter, more elegant alternative to traditional fruit salad. The Greek yogurt dip adds protein and makes the fruit feel more substantial for a brunch spread.
