These fun and Patriotic Fruit Kabobs are a delicious and easy way to celebrate summer festivities. This recipe is healthy, paleo, and vegan!
Summer Holiday Planning
With summer right around the corner, my mind has already turned to longer days, warm evenings, and fun summer holidays spent with friends and loved ones. I think the 4th of July is actually my favorite holiday of the whole year! I love fireworks and I also love a holiday that is just centered around having fun and celebrating our amazing country.
How to Make Patriotic Fruit Kabobs
For this easy appetizer, finger food, or side dish, you just need to have some colorful foods on hand.
For the red, I chose strawberries. For a savory version, you could use red bell pepper slices or cherry tomatoes.
For the white, I used cubed jicama. You could also use pear, apple, honeydew melon, or white onion as a savory option.
For the blue, I used blueberries, but you could use purple grapes or olives.
You’ll also need some skewers, either stainless steel skewers or wooden bamboo skewers.
To make these patriotic fruit kabobs, you literally just chop your fruit or vegetables to a similar size, and then assemble them on your skewers. Then, when you’re ready to serve, just pop them onto a plate with some cocktail napkins and you’re good to go.

What a wonderful idea for a patriotic appetizer and dessert. It’s been years since I’ve had jicama. I don’t know why I haven’t picked more of them up — we really enjoyed the taste and the crunch. We’re having a family gathering next week and i know the entire family would love the fruit kabobs.

Jicama is very mild and crunchy, kind of like a white carrot that has a bit of a radish flavor. It is very unique and delicious!
Lorie says
I love jicama but never thought to use it in a recipe like this—I find I use it more in savory recipes. Can’t wait to add it to such a super simple fun recipe!!
