Low Iodine Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh, crisp apples and ripe pears are the stars here, tossed in a simple dressing of lemon juice, honey, and a whisper of cinnamon that makes the whole bowl smell like autumn. It comes together in minutes with just a handful of wholesome ingredients — no cooking required, no complicated prep. For anyone navigating iodine restrictions, fruit salads like this are a genuine bright spot because every ingredient is naturally free of the dairy, seafood, and processed additives that tend to cause concern. The lemon juice keeps the slices looking fresh and vibrant while adding a gentle tartness that balances the sweetness of the honey beautifully. A scatter of fresh mint at the end lifts the whole dish and makes it feel a little more special, though it's completely optional. Serve it right away for the best texture, or prep the dressing ahead and toss just before eating.
