Nothing special about this recipe. Might as well use strawberry yogurt as the sauce...
Watermelon-and-Kiwi Skewers with Starry Strawberry Cream
The watermelon and kiwifruit can be cut up one day in advance. Thread the fruit onto skewers a few hours before the party. The strawberry cream is best when prepared only a few hours prior to serving.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 3 skewers and 2 tablespoons sauce)
