Fruit Kabobs with watermelon, blueberries, and mozzarella balls are a fun and healthy Fourth of July snack.
They are a great way to keep your kids busy in the kitchen. They’ll love using a melon baller to make balls of watermelon and threading the ingredients on the skewers will keep them entertained while you get other things done.
How To Serve 4th of July Fruit Kabobs
These fruit kabobs are perfectly delicious as is, but you can amp up the flavor by adding some fresh mint, a sprinkle or salt, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. They are a cool and refreshing snack to munch on that will still leave you with plenty of room for burgers and pie later on.
Variations and Substitutions
- Use strawberries or raspberries in place of watermelon.
- Use large marshmallows in place of mozzarella balls.
- Use cubes of Angel Food cake or pound cake in place of mozzarella balls.
Make Ahead
These fruit skewers can be made ahead of time, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated. Make up to 24 hours in advance.
Serve 4th of July Fruit Kabobs with Hot Dogs with Dr. Pepper Barbecue Sauce, Red, White, and Blue Fruit Salad, Root Beer Baked Beans, and Creamy Macaroni Salad for a 4th of July Cookout everyone will rave about.

What a beautiful and simple 4th of July dessert! I feel like planning for those bbqs can get so hectic and stressful, this fruit kabob is so amazing because it’s delicious AND stress-free. 😀

How gorgeous are these fruit kabobs?? Loving the mozzarella cheese addition and I think it’s so cool how we’re both on kabob kicks this week! 😀 Pinned!
They may be pretty but I don’t think they taste nearly as good as your 4th of July kabobs with vanilla pudding dip 🙂
Delicious and beautiful! We make these but without the mozzarella balls, adding different types of seedless grapes and then freeze them. The kids love them frozen!
