Directions
- 1
In a medium bowl, gently combine the pineapple cubes, quartered strawberries, green grapes, blueberries, and raspberries.
- 2
Carefully slice the peeled kiwi into uniform 1/2-inch thick rounds, then halve each round to create crescent shapes.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, pure vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined and the honey is dissolved.
- 4
Drizzle the dressing over the mixed fruit, tossing gently to coat each piece evenly without bruising the fruit.
- 5
Allow the fruit to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- 6
Beginning with a pineapple cube, carefully thread the fruit onto each wooden skewer, alternating colors and shapes for visual appeal, ensuring each skewer holds approximately 5-6 pieces of fruit.

Aim for a symmetrical pattern, perhaps starting with pineapple, then a strawberry, grape, blueberry, kiwi, and finishing with a raspberry, repeating the pattern if space allows.

Arrange the finished skewers on a platte, making sure they are perfectly lined up, and serve immediately for peak freshness and presentation.
