This year’s 4th of July celebration is a bit last minute so we are planning to keep the menu simple. Simple isn’t always an easy task for me but I’m reminding myself that the simpler we are, the more time we’ll have with guests and, of course the less time we’ll spend in the kitchen.

I really do love food in its natural state, so we’ll be serving up some fresh fruit from the market as one of our healthy appetizer options. Since this fruit appetizer is for the 4th of July, we picked out fruit and veggies in colors fitting the holiday.

RED WHITE AND BLUE FRUIT KEBABS

A mix of red, white and blue fruit and vegetables, cut into festive shapes and layered on small skewers for an easy and healthy Fourth of July appetizer.

The fruit already looks gorgeous on its own, but displaying it in cute little dishes will make them look even more fabulous. You can even cut your fruit into shapes as I did using my star cutter and skewer into kababs for a fun holiday touch.

This fruit display is versatile so pick which ones you enjoy the most. I chose jicama because of its white color, but it’s quite starchy and almost potato like. Consider pears, or apples as an alternative.
