- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup green grapes
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt

Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prep the Fruit
Wash all fruit thoroughly under cold running water. Hull and halve the strawberries, cut the pineapple into bite-sized chunks, and leave the grapes and blueberries whole.
Step 2: Thread the Skewers
Thread the fruit onto wooden skewers in rainbow color order starting with red strawberries, then yellow pineapple, green grapes, and finishing with blue and purple blueberries.

Stir the honey into the vanilla Greek yogurt in a small bowl until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed before serving.
Step 4: Arrange and Serve
Arrange the completed skewers on a large platter in a fan or arc shape to mimic a rainbow. Place the yogurt dip in the center for easy dunking.
