Cooking Instructions(tap to mark complete)
- Prepare all ingredients by cubing the leftover turkey and cheddar cheese, and slicing cucumber into rounds.
- Thread ingredients alternately onto skewers: grape, folded pita square, turkey cube, cucumber slice, and cheddar cheese cube.
- Repeat the pattern until each skewer is filled, leaving 1 inch of bare space at the base for little hands to hold.
- Place skewers flat into a lidded bento container over a small bed of spinach leaves or directly on the tray.
- Fill a small leak-proof dip cup with honey mustard or mild ranch dressing and nestle beside the skewers with an ice pack!

Dukey's Kitchen Clue
"Dukey says: 'If your child's school has a strict safety rule about wooden skewers, use blunt silicone bento food picks or thick pretzel sticks as edible skewers!' Cut the tips with kitchen scissors to make them 100% elementary cafeteria safe."
