Low Sodium Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Sweet, crisp apples and juicy ripe pears come together in a refreshing salad that feels like the best of autumn in a bowl. A simple dressing of fresh lemon juice, honey, and a whisper of cinnamon ties everything together beautifully, adding brightness and warmth without overpowering the natural fruit flavors. For anyone keeping a close eye on sodium intake, this is the kind of dish that proves you don't need salt to make something genuinely crave-worthy — every ingredient here earns its place on pure flavor alone. The lemon juice does double duty, lending a gentle tang while also keeping those delicate fruit slices looking fresh and vibrant. A handful of thinly sliced fresh mint scattered over the top adds an optional but lovely herbal lift that makes the whole bowl feel a little more special. It comes together in just a few minutes with no cooking required, making it an effortless choice for a light dessert, a brunch side, or an afternoon snack.
