High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh fruit salads sound simple, but the bottled dressings and store-bought mixes that sneak onto tables are often loaded with sweeteners you didn't sign up for. This one keeps things completely clean — just crisp apples, ripe pears, a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of real honey, and a pinch of cinnamon. The honey dissolves right into the lemon juice to create a light, fragrant dressing that coats every slice without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the fruit. Cinnamon adds a warm, almost autumnal depth that makes this feel like more than just a bowl of sliced fruit. A handful of fresh mint stirred in at the end lifts the whole thing with a bright, cooling finish. It comes together in minutes and is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a brunch table or alongside a cozy weeknight dinner.
