Ingredients:
For the Kebabs:
* 1 cup mixed cubed exotic fruits (such as starfruit, dragon fruit, passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and kiwi)
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like mint, basil, and cilantro)
* 1 tablespoon maple syrup
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Coconut Yogurt Tahini Sauce:
* 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk yogurt (such as cashew, almond, or soy)
* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/4 cup raw organic tahini
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
Direction 1: Prepare the exotic fruit mix for the kabobs by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl and tossing well until everything is evenly coated. Set aside.
Direction 2: For the coconut yogurt tahini sauce, combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and process on high until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
Direction 3: Thread the prepared fruit onto skewers, alternating between different fruits and herbs. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Direction 4: Grill the kabobs over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fruits are tender but still hold their shape. Alternatively, you can also broil them for 3-5 minutes on each side.
Direction 5: Serve the grilled fruit kabobs drizzled with our creamy coconut yogurt tahini sauce and enjoy! You can also top with additional fresh herbs and sprinkles of shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
Note: To make this recipe gluten-free, use certified gluten-free skewers instead of wooden ones.
