Nutmeg Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
This bright, refreshing fruit salad is the kind of dish that looks effortless but tastes like you actually tried. Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pear come together in a simple honey-lemon dressing that highlights the natural sweetness of both fruits without overwhelming them. A pinch of cinnamon adds just enough warmth to make the whole bowl feel a little more special than your average fruit plate. Fresh mint, if you choose to use it, lifts everything with a cool, herby finish that makes each bite feel clean and lively. So many spiced fruit dishes sneak in warm, pungent seasonings that can be hard to avoid, but this one keeps things beautifully simple — cinnamon is the only spice in play, so you know exactly what you're getting. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required, making it an ideal choice for a quick breakfast side, a light dessert, or a crowd-pleasing addition to any spread.
