High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Apple-Ginger Fruit Salad Cups

Fresh fruit, bright citrus, warm spice, and a little heat from real ginger — this salad delivers a genuinely exciting flavor combination without a drop of processed sweetener in sight. The dressing is built entirely from fresh lime juice, raw honey, grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and lime zest, so you know exactly what's going into every bite. That matters a lot when you're avoiding high fructose corn syrup, since bottled fruit dressings and store-bought fruit cups are notorious for sneaking it in under various names. Serving the salad inside hollowed apple halves is a clever move that doubles as both a vessel and an extra layer of crisp, juicy flavor. A quick brush of lime juice on the cut apple cups keeps everything looking beautiful and fresh on the platter. Letting the dressed fruit rest for ten minutes before serving is a small step that makes a big difference — the blueberries, strawberries, pear, and apple pieces soak up the gingery dressing and the whole thing becomes something greater than the sum of its parts. It's the kind of dish that looks impressive at a brunch or gathering but comes together with nothing more than a knife, a bowl, and a whisk.
