Eosinophilic Esophagitis Friendly Fig & Melon Cucumber Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing

This vibrant fruit salad is the kind of dish that looks like it came from a fancy brunch spread but comes together with almost no effort. Sweet figs and honeydew melon pair beautifully with cool cucumber slices, and a quick whisk of apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and ground ginger ties everything together in a bright, lightly tangy dressing. Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means navigating a long list of common trigger foods, and this recipe leans entirely on fresh produce and a handful of clean, simple pantry staples — no dairy, no gluten, no soy, no eggs, no nuts. Torn fresh mint and basil add an herby lift that makes the whole bowl feel surprisingly sophisticated. A short rest at room temperature lets the fruit release its natural juices, which blend with the dressing into something almost syrupy and deeply flavorful. Finished with a pinch of flaky sea salt, it's the kind of salad that disappears fast at the table.
