These vibrant, colorful fruit kebabs scream summer. This is the perfect picnic snack, appetizer, or side to throw together at the last minute because it requires absolutely zero cooking and minimal effort. Here’s what you need to do:

Grab 4-5 of your favorite fruits, and slice them up. Slice watermelon into cubes, pineapple into rings, and then quarter them, slice peaches into wedges, and kiwi into discs. Berries are great because they don’t require any prep! Choose a pattern, and slide your fruit onto the kebab sticks in that pattern. You can also make them all random.

Whether they’re all in a matching pattern or random, the effect will be beautiful! Arrange the fruit kebabs on a nice large platter for serving: I like to fill in any gaps in the platter with fresh basil leaves and some extra berries and pieces of fruit. This will create the most beautiful platter!

This can even be made up to a few hours ahead of your celebration or party and kept covered in the fridge. Basil leaves can wilt, so I recommend adding those at the last minute.

Serve up this colorful platter at summer parties, picnics, or a birthday or shower! No matter the occasion, these fruit kebabs will certainly be a hit. Happy snacking!
