# Ingredient List:
→ Fruits
01 - 1 cup seedless green grapes
02 - 1 cup seedless red grapes
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved

# Directions:
01 - Wash and dry all fruits thoroughly. Hull strawberries and halve them if large. Ensure pineapple chunks are cut to bite-sized pieces.
02 - Cut cheddar and Monterey Jack (or mozzarella) cheeses into uniform 1-inch cubes for consistent threading and even presentation.
03 - Thread each wooden skewer with alternating fruits and cheese cubes, mixing colors and flavors for maximum visual appeal. Leave space at both ends for easy handling.

05 - Serve chilled or at room temperature. Best enjoyed immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The sweet and creamy combination makes everyone keep reaching for just one more
- You can prep everything ahead and assemble right before serving
02 -
- Dry your fruits completely after washing or the moisture makes the cheese slide around
- Push ingredients gently but firmly so they stay put without crushing the delicate fruits
03 -
- Room temperature cheese has more flavor so take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before cubing
- Use two hands to thread—holding the skewer near the tip gives you better control
