Yield: 8 servings (2 kabobs and 1/8 of dip each)

Ingredients

Dip

• 1/2 (8 ounce) package) reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel), softened
• 1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/2 (8 1/4 ounce) can sliced pineapple in juice, drained, finely chopped

Kabobs

• 1/2 (8 1/4 ounce) can sliced pineapple in juice, drained
• 16 seedless green grapes
• 1/2 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained
• 8 strawberries, cut in half

Instructions

Dip

1. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese, yogurt and honey until creamy.
2. Fold in chopped pineapple.
3. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.

Kabobs

1. Cut pineapple slices into eighths.
