Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh fruit: strawberries (halved), blueberries, banana slices, apple chunks, mango cubes, grapes, pineapple chunks
  • Fresh vegetables: cucumber rounds, cherry tomatoes, bell pepper squares, carrot coins
  • Cheese: mozzarella balls, cubed cheddar, feta chunks
  • Protein options: cooked chicken breast cubes, hard-boiled egg halves, turkey slices rolled up
  • Extras: whole wheat pretzels, pita bread squares, roasted chickpeas

Instructions

  1. Make the yogurt dip (1 minute): In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness to your liking. If you want a thinner dip, add 1 teaspoon of milk or water at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. For a thicker dip, let it sit in the fridge for 5 minutes.
  2. Prep your skewer ingredients (3 minutes): Wash and dry all fruit and vegetables. Cut larger items into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches. Strawberries should be halved or quartered, apples cut into cubes, bell peppers sliced into squares, and cucumbers cut into thick rounds. Keep pieces uniform in size.
  3. Assemble the skewers (1 minute per skewer): Thread your chosen ingredients onto each skewer, alternating colors and textures for visual appeal. Leave about 1 inch of space at the bottom of the skewer so you can hold it comfortably. Don’t overcrowd—leave a tiny gap between pieces so the dip can reach every surface.
  4. Arrange and serve (30 seconds): Place the assembled skewers on a platter around the bowl of yogurt dip. Serve immediately for the freshest texture. If you’re preparing ahead, store the dip and skewers separately in the fridge and assemble just before serving.

Notes

For the best texture, use Greek yogurt that’s thick and strained. Regular yogurt will make a runny dip. Soak wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes if serving raw veggies to prevent splintering. The dip actually improves after a few hours in the fridge. For a savory version, swap honey and vanilla for 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, and a squeeze of lemon.
