Breastfeeding Friendly Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh fruit is one of the easiest wins when you're nursing and trying to keep your meals nourishing without a lot of fuss. This simple salad layers crisp apple slices with tender, ripe pear for a combination that feels a little fancy but comes together in minutes. A quick dressing of lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon ties everything together with just the right balance of brightness and warmth. The lemon juice does double duty here — it adds flavor and keeps the fruit looking beautiful so nothing browns before you get to the table. A handful of fresh mint scattered on top adds a cool, refreshing finish that makes the whole bowl feel extra special. It's naturally sweet, hydrating, and completely free of anything processed, which is exactly what you want when you're paying close attention to what goes into your body. Light enough to enjoy as a snack between feeds, but pretty enough to serve alongside a weekend brunch spread.
