What cheeses work well for these skewers?

Mild cheddar and gouda are great choices for balance, but you can also use Emmental or Monterey Jack for different flavors.

Can I use other types of grapes?

Yes, seedless red grapes are common, but green grapes add a nice color contrast and a slightly different taste.

Wash thoroughly and dry the grapes to ensure they slide easily onto the skewers and maintain freshness.

No cooking is necessary; this snack is assembled fresh and served chilled or at room temperature.

Fresh mint leaves add a refreshing note, and a light drizzle of honey can provide a sweet-salty contrast.

A simple and elegant snack featuring alternating cubes of cheese and juicy grapes, perfect for parties or quick bites.
