Peanut Free Watermelon Mint Skewers
Sweet, cool, and just a little bit fancy, these skewers are the kind of no-fuss appetizer that disappears fast at any gathering. Juicy watermelon and crisp cucumber get threaded together with fresh mint, then finished with a honey-lime drizzle that ties every bite together beautifully. A pinch of flaky sea salt and optional chili powder add just enough contrast to make the sweetness pop. The whole thing comes together without any cooking, which means it's perfect for hot days when you'd rather be outside than standing over a stove. Since every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, there's no label-reading stress — just fresh produce and pantry staples you can feel good about. These skewers work equally well as a light starter, a poolside snack, or a colorful addition to a summer spread.
