Ingredients

For the Skewers

2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 lb (450 g) fresh strawberries, hulled
8 oz (225 g) feta cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
12 wooden skewers

For the Lime Basil Glaze

3 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp lime zest
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes before assembling. Wash and dry the strawberries, peel and cube the mangoes, and cut the feta into evenly sized cubes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, honey, lime zest, basil, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Thread one strawberry, one mango cube, and one feta cube onto each skewer. Repeat the pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving enough space at each end for easy handling.

Arrange the finished skewers on a serving platter. Lightly brush or drizzle the lime basil glaze over each skewer, ensuring every piece is coated without becoming soggy.

Let the skewers rest for 10 minutes so the flavors can blend. Garnish with extra basil, lime zest, or chopped pistachios if desired.

Serve chilled as a refreshing appetizer, healthy snack, or colorful party platter. These fruity skewers pair perfectly with grilled chicken, seafood, fresh salads, or sparkling drinks.
