Easy Mint Melon Skewers are a delicious melon combo flavored with fresh mint leaves. It’s a refreshing way to eat watermelon, honey dew and cantaloupe melons. This melon appetizer is Vegan and gluten-free.
Melons are a popular summer fruit. They’re not only great for fruit salads and skewers, they make interesting pairings like Basil and Balsamic Glazed Prosciutto Wrapped Melon!
They’re juicy, sweet and colorful. Melons can be so sweet in the summer, they’ll make you forget all about dessert at least for a little while.
These mint melon skewers are a healthy, appetizer, dessert or snack everyone will love because they’re no guilt involved.
Mint is a fragrant herb that pairs well with fruit. I use it to make some cocktails like my Limoncello Mojitos and Limoncello Moscow Mules.
Because I have mint plants growing on the side of my house, I seem to have an endless supply of mint, which is not a bad thing.

These fruit skewers are perfect for entertaining because you make them ahead of time. Plus, they have an appetizing, colorful display for a buffet table. They can be served with appetizers or with desserts.
They’re great little fruit snacks to put in lunches too. I use four-inch long, wood skewers to make them. They fit in sandwich baggies for lunch.
Kids love fruit so this is perfect for cute after school snacks or to serve at gatherings.
