Gelatin Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pears come together in a light, refreshing salad that feels just as at home on a brunch table as it does alongside a weeknight dinner. The simple dressing — lemon juice, honey, and a whisper of cinnamon — brings everything into balance without overpowering the natural sweetness of the fruit. Many packaged fruit salads and store-bought desserts sneak in gelatin as a thickener or stabilizer, so making your own from scratch is the easiest way to stay confident about what's actually in your bowl. Every ingredient here is straightforwardly plant-based and whole, so there's nothing hidden to second-guess. A handful of fresh mint stirred in at the end adds a bright, herby lift that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. Toss it together right before serving so the slices stay crisp and the colors stay vivid.
