Mediterranean Diet Friendly Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh fruit doesn't need much help to shine, and this apple-pear salad proves it beautifully. Crisp Honeycrisp or Fuji apples pair with buttery Bartlett or Bosc pears, and a simple drizzle of honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon ties everything together in the most effortless way. The dressing comes together in seconds — just whisk and pour — making this one of those recipes you'll reach for again and again when you need something light and genuinely satisfying. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top adds a bright, herby lift that takes the whole bowl up a notch. This kind of dish is a natural fit for a plant-forward eating style that leans on whole foods, natural sweeteners, and minimal processing — no refined sugars, no complicated steps, just real ingredients doing their thing. Serve it right away so the slices stay crisp and the colors stay vibrant.
