Cashew Free Watermelon Mint Skewers
Sweet, juicy watermelon and cool cucumber come together on a skewer in the most refreshing way, finished with a honey-lime drizzle that ties every bite together. Fresh mint leaves folded between each piece add a bright, herbal pop that makes this feel far more special than the minimal effort required. A pinch of flaky sea salt deepens the sweetness, and if you're feeling bold, a dusting of chili powder brings just enough heat to keep things interesting. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a summer gathering — colorful, light, and genuinely crowd-pleasing. Because everything here is whole, simple, and naturally free of tree nuts, there's zero guesswork about hidden ingredients or cross-contact from processed snacks. Just fresh produce, a quick whisk, and a platter that looks like you tried way harder than you did.
