Alpha Gal Friendly Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
This bright, refreshing fruit salad is the kind of dish that feels effortless yet looks genuinely beautiful on the table. Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pear come together in a simple honey-lemon dressing that's just sweet enough, with a whisper of cinnamon tying everything together. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, finding safe, satisfying food can feel like a constant puzzle — but a recipe built entirely around fresh fruit, honey, and lemon is about as worry-free as it gets. There are no hidden mammalian-derived additives to second-guess, just clean, whole ingredients you can trust. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herbal lift that makes the whole bowl feel a little more special. It comes together in minutes and works equally well as a light dessert, a brunch side, or a midday snack.
