Almond Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Crisp apple slices and buttery-soft pears come together in a light, fragrant salad that feels both refreshing and a little bit special. A simple dressing of lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon ties everything together, adding just enough warmth and brightness to elevate the natural sweetness of the fruit. This is the kind of dish that looks effortless on a brunch table but genuinely tastes like you put thought into it. For anyone navigating nut allergies, fruit salads can sometimes be a minefield — think candied toppings, trail mix add-ins, or dressings made with almond extract — but every single ingredient here is straightforward and clean. The optional fresh mint adds a cool, herby finish that makes the whole bowl feel a little more elevated without any extra fuss. Toss it together right before serving so the slices stay crisp and the dressing stays vibrant.
