This rainbow fruit appetizer is such a hit with both kids and adults. These skewers are great for snacking or as a dessert alternative for a celebration. Use the freshest fruits you can find and place them in a rainbow (ROYGBIV) order. You can substitute other fruit for the kinds shown in the photo, but these flavors work well together and people always like the skewers better than fruit in a bowl!

Serving Idea: For St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, have a little fun by including a small pot of gold chocolate coins with your fruit skewers so that everyone can “find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.”
