Peanut Free Caprese Skewers with Turmeric Honey Drizzle
Fresh mozzarella, juicy cherry tomatoes, and fragrant basil come together on little skewers that look almost too pretty to eat — almost. What really sets this version apart is the golden drizzle: a quick whisk of olive oil, honey, turmeric, and black pepper that adds a warm, subtly floral note you won't find on a standard caprese plate. A pinch of flaky sea salt and an optional ribbon of balsamic glaze finish everything off with just the right amount of drama. These are the kind of appetizers that disappear from a platter in minutes, whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or just treating yourself to something a little special. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's no label-reading stress — just straightforward, beautiful food. Assembly is genuinely simple: fold, thread, drizzle, done.
