Eosinophilic Esophagitis Friendly Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Managing eosinophilic esophagitis often means navigating a minefield of trigger ingredients, so having a dish this simple and naturally safe feels like a genuine win. Sweet, crisp apple slices and tender ripe pears are the stars here, tossed in a light dressing of fresh lemon juice, honey, and a whisper of cinnamon that brings everything together beautifully. There are no grains, no dairy, no soy, and no complex additives — just whole fruit and pantry staples you can feel confident about. The lemon juice does double duty, brightening the flavor while keeping the fruit looking fresh and vibrant right up until serving. A scatter of fresh mint at the end is optional but adds a lovely, cooling lift if you want a little extra something. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife and two bowls, making it an effortless choice for a snack, a light dessert, or a side that the whole table can enjoy without worry.
