4th of July Fruit Kabobs
Description
4th of July Fruit Kabobs feature fresh strawberries, bananas, and blueberries arranged on wooden skewers to represent the colors of the American flag. Blueberries are clustered at the top of several skewers, followed by alternating layers of banana and strawberry slices, forming stripes on the others.
The fruit pieces provide contrasting textures: blueberries are small and juicy, bananas are soft and mild, and strawberries add bright flavor and firmness. The assembly on skewers makes for easy, handheld fruit servings that are visually appealing for celebrations.
These kabobs work well as a refreshing side or dessert during warm weather events, especially around patriotic holidays. A tip for prepping ahead includes squeezing fresh citrus juice over bananas to slow browning if assembling in advance.
Ingredients
- 1 Pint strawberries
- 5 banana
- 1 Pint blueberries

Notes
- Prevent banana slices from browning by squeezing fresh lemon or lime juice over them if preparing the kabobs in advance.
