    Pineapples are the BEST grilled: D, One of my friends really likes bananas grilled too.

    peppers, pineapples, mangos, onions... all yum. I skip the dip b/c when you grill fruit it actually becomes sweeter. Boo on pizza, :noway:

    You can also make a healthy veggie pizza! Tons of recipes available, but I totally agree... grilled pineapple is yummmmmm to the max! No dip required!!!

    For the fruit - pineapple, strawberries, grapes, blueberries - For the veggies - if they are raw - cucumbers, green peppers, red peppers, carrot slices....that's all I got :)

    This time of year, melons are really good (cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew,) don't know how they'd work on a kabob, but a bowl of melon balls or chunks will work too.

    Strawberries, peaches (cut up), grapes, cherries. Any fruit that is in season.

    Mmmm, now I'm hungry for some fruit!

    The kabobs sound great, raw or grilled!

    I make an easy dip for fruit that my kids love and it's healthy.... mix small container of strawberry low fat or fat free yogurt with one small container of low fat or fat free cool whip whipped topping. Easy to make and yummy to eat!

    When I eat raw veggies I make a ranch dip using the ranch dip packet, fat free milk, and either fat free sour cream or fat free yogurt,

    I'm taking both the fruit dip and ranch dip to work tomorrow!! I've never had grilled fruit but that sounds amazing!!!

    What a great idea! Here is a link for a recipe for a dipping sauce.

    If you are looking for other healthy, fruit desserts here is a recipe for a grilled fruit bruschetta. The recipe calls for bread but angel food cake would be a good swap!

    Chocolate mint syrup-might be yummy to dip fruit in

    Oh you could also make a fruit 'pizza', using cool whip or FF cream cheese as a sauce and top with whatever fruits you like. This phyllo fruit tart looks so delicious!
