Nightshade Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
This bright, refreshing fruit salad is the kind of dish that feels effortless yet somehow looks stunning on the table. Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pears come together in a simple honey-lemon dressing that lets the natural sweetness of the fruit shine. A whisper of cinnamon adds just enough warmth to make it feel a little more special than your average fruit bowl. Fresh mint, if you choose to use it, lifts the whole thing with a cool, herby finish that makes every bite feel lively. For anyone navigating a nightshade-free lifestyle, fruit salads can sometimes be deceptively tricky when store-bought versions sneak in unexpected ingredients — but every component here is clean, whole, and straightforward. This one comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife, a bowl, and a quick whisk, making it an easy go-to for breakfast, a light dessert, or a crowd-pleasing side at any gathering.
