Lupin Free Fig & Melon Cucumber Salad with Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing

This salad is a stunning collision of sweet, cool, and herby — juicy figs and honeydew melon tumbling together with crisp cucumber slices and handfuls of torn fresh mint and basil. The dressing is deceptively simple: apple cider vinegar, honey, olive oil, and a whisper of ground ginger whisk into something bright and lightly tangy that ties every element together beautifully. A short rest at room temperature lets the fruit release its natural juices, turning the dressing into something almost syrupy and deeply fragrant. That final pinch of flaky sea salt over the top is the move — it sharpens the sweetness and makes the whole thing feel intentional and a little fancy. Every ingredient here is naturally free from lupin, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved, just clean, whole produce and pantry staples you likely already have. It works as a light lunch, a sophisticated starter, or a refreshing side alongside grilled proteins on a warm evening.
