Artificial Food Coloring Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Fruit Skewers with Almonds
These vibrant skewers are a stunning mix of sweet, savory, and briny — cherry tomatoes and Kalamata olives alongside juicy red grapes and fresh strawberries, all threaded together and finished with a golden turmeric-lemon drizzle. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from synthetic dyes, which makes this a genuinely stress-free option for anyone navigating a table full of colorful party food. Store-bought dressings and flavored snacks are notorious for sneaking in artificial colors, but this dressing is whisked together from scratch using olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of ground turmeric for that warm, sunny hue. The dry-roasted almonds add a satisfying crunch that keeps each bite interesting, and the optional torn mint leaves bring a fresh, herby lift right at the end. Assembly is straightforward — just alternate the ingredients along the skewer and drizzle everything on the platter before serving. The result looks like something from a catered spread but comes together with minimal effort and zero questionable additives.
