Capsaicin Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
This bright, refreshing fruit salad is exactly the kind of dish that feels effortless yet looks beautiful on the table. Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pear come together in a simple honey-lemon dressing that lets the natural sweetness of the fruit shine. A whisper of ground cinnamon ties everything together with a warm, cozy note that makes this feel a little more special than your average fruit bowl. For anyone navigating a sensitivity to capsaicin, this is the kind of recipe that requires zero label-checking or ingredient swaps — every component is naturally free of peppers and heat. The optional fresh mint adds a cool, herbal lift that makes the whole salad feel even more vibrant. It comes together in just a few minutes with nothing more than a knife and a bowl, making it an ideal side for brunch, a light dessert, or a snack you can feel genuinely good about.
