# Recipe Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes

05 - 8 oz cheddar cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

06 - 8 oz Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

07 - 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves

08 - 12 wooden skewers

01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and cut them in half if they're large.

02 - Cut both cheddar and Monterey Jack (or mozzarella) cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes for consistent threading.

03 - Thread each skewer with an alternating pattern of fruits and cheese cubes. Mix colors and flavors for maximum visual appeal and variety.

05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. For optimal freshness and texture, enjoy immediately after assembly.

01 -

No cooking required and you can prep everything ahead of time, leaving you free to actually enjoy your own party
The sweet and salty combination makes people keep reaching for just one more

02 -

Damp fruit will make your cheese cubes slide right off the skewers, so dry everything thoroughly before assembling
Room temperature cheese tastes better than cold, but cube it while chilled for cleaner edges

03 -

Thread the ingredients starting with the heaviest pieces at the bottom so the kabobs stand upright without tipping
If you're serving these outside, keep the platter on ice or in the shade to maintain their texture
