Gluten Free Berry Mozzarella Skewers
These skewers are the kind of appetizer that disappears from the platter before you even finish setting it down. Creamy mozzarella balls, juicy strawberries, plump blueberries, and fragrant fresh basil come together on a single stick for a bite that's bright, rich, and just a little fancy. The honey-balsamic drizzle — whisked together with a touch of olive oil — ties everything together with a sweet, tangy finish that tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did. Naturally free of any grain-based ingredients, this is one of those recipes where eating around a restriction feels completely effortless rather than like a compromise. There's no swapping or substituting needed; every ingredient here is inherently clean and simple. Flaky sea salt and a crack of black pepper on top add just enough contrast to make the flavors pop. Serves 4, and honestly, you might want to double it.
