Lupin Free Caprese Skewers with Turmeric Honey Drizzle
These little skewers are everything you want from a summer appetizer — bright, fresh, and just fancy enough to impress without any real effort. Creamy mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fragrant basil are threaded together and finished with a golden drizzle of honey, olive oil, turmeric, and black pepper that takes the classic combination somewhere genuinely exciting. The turmeric gives the drizzle a warm, earthy depth while the honey adds just enough sweetness to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. A pinch of flaky sea salt over the top pulls everything together, and a ribbon of balsamic glaze makes the whole platter look like it came from a restaurant. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from lupin, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden flour-based fillers sneaking into your spread. They come together in minutes and are best served immediately, which honestly makes them perfect for entertaining — assemble, drizzle, and watch them disappear.
