Walnut Free Mediterranean Tomato, Olive & Fruit Skewers with Almonds
These vibrant skewers are a stunning mashup of savory and sweet — juicy cherry tomatoes and briny Kalamata olives threaded alongside plump red grapes, fresh strawberries, and crunchy dry-roasted almonds. The combination sounds unexpected, but it absolutely works, hitting every note from salty to fruity in a single bite. A quick drizzle of turmeric-lemon dressing ties everything together with a bright, slightly earthy finish that feels both fresh and sophisticated. Torn mint scattered over the platter at the end adds a pop of color and a cool herbal lift that takes the whole thing up a notch. These are naturally free from walnuts at every step — no swaps needed, no label-checking required — making them a genuinely stress-free option for entertaining or snacking. They come together fast, look gorgeous on a platter, and disappear even faster.
