# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, just assembly work that even kids can help with
  • The sweet and salty combo keeps people coming back for seconds and thirds
02 -
  • Room temperature cheese tastes better than cold cheese straight from the fridge, so let it sit out for 30 minutes before cubing
  • Skewer everything shortly before serving, because the acid in fruit can start breaking down cheese texture after a few hours
03 -
  • If making these hours ahead, brush the cheese cubes with a tiny bit of lemon juice to prevent drying out
  • The best skewer pattern I've found is grape, cheese, strawberry, cheese, pineapple, then repeat
