Cheddar, Jicama, & Grape Skewers Recipe
(makes 8)
Ingredients
3/4 cup green grapes
6 ounces mild cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1/4 large jicama root, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
8 10-inch wooden skewers
1/2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon honey
pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the grapes, cheddar and jicama onto the skewers, alternating them until there are three of each item on each skewer.
In a small bowl stir together the yogurt, cilantro, lime zest and juice, honey and salt until well combined. Serve the skewers with the sauce for dipping.
(You can substitute 1/3 large English cucumber, seeded and cut into ½ inch chunks if jicama is difficult to find.)
