Brazil Nut Free Gluten Free Caprese Cucumber Bites
These little stacked bites are everything you want in a warm-weather appetizer — cool, crisp cucumber layered with creamy fresh mozzarella, juicy cherry tomato, and fragrant basil, all finished with a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze. The combination is classic Italian caprese energy, just reimagined in a two-bite format that's as pretty on a platter as it is easy to pop in your mouth. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just straightforward, wholesome produce and cheese. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet-tangy ribbon that ties everything together without overpowering the fresh flavors underneath. Assembly is genuinely simple: slice, stack, drizzle, done. These are the kind of snacks that disappear fast at a party, so consider making a double batch before guests arrive.
