Hazelnut Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh, crisp, and naturally sweet, this apple and pear salad is the kind of dish that feels effortless yet genuinely impressive on the table. A simple dressing of lemon juice, honey, and ground cinnamon ties everything together, brightening the fruit while adding just enough warmth to make it feel intentional rather than thrown together. The lemon juice does double duty here — it keeps those beautiful slices from browning and adds a gentle tartness that balances the natural sugars in the Honeycrisp and Bartlett varieties. Optional fresh mint scattered on top takes the whole thing from simple to stunning in about two seconds. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, this is the kind of recipe that requires zero label-checking anxiety — every ingredient is clean, whole, and straightforward. It works beautifully as a light dessert, a brunch side, or even a refreshing palate cleanser between heavier dishes.
