Gluten Free Watermelon Mint Skewers
Sweet, juicy watermelon and cool cucumber come together on a skewer with fresh mint tucked in between, making every bite a little burst of summer. A quick honey-lime drizzle ties it all together with just the right balance of bright citrus and natural sweetness. A pinch of flaky sea salt and optional chili powder take things up a notch, adding a subtle heat that plays beautifully against the fruit. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a backyard gathering — it looks gorgeous on a platter and requires almost no effort to pull off. Every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-checking or ingredient swapping required; it's just fresh, whole food doing all the work. Serve these immediately after assembling so the mint stays vibrant and the honey-lime glaze is still glistening.
