Coconut Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh, crisp apples and ripe pears are the stars here, dressed in a simple honey-lemon vinaigrette with a warm hint of cinnamon. The combination of sweet and tart fruit with that bright citrus coating makes every bite feel refreshing and a little bit special. So many store-bought fruit salads and packaged dressings sneak in tropical ingredients or sweetened syrups that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding certain tree fruits — this one keeps things beautifully straightforward. The dressing comes together in seconds with just three pantry staples, and a handful of fresh mint at the end adds a pop of color and a cool, herby finish if you're feeling fancy. It's the kind of dish that looks impressive on a brunch table but genuinely takes almost no effort to pull together. Serve it immediately after tossing so the slices stay crisp and the lemon keeps everything looking vibrant.
