Pecan Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh, crisp apples and ripe pears are the stars here, dressed in a simple honey-lemon vinaigrette with a warm hint of cinnamon. The whole thing comes together in minutes with just a handful of pantry staples — no cooking, no fuss. A scatter of fresh mint at the end adds a bright, herby lift that makes it feel a little more special than your average fruit bowl. Tree nut allergies can make even simple salads stressful when store-bought versions sneak in unexpected add-ins, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. The lemon juice does double duty, keeping the fruit from browning while adding a gentle tartness that balances the honey beautifully. It's the kind of dish that works as a light dessert, a brunch side, or an afternoon snack that actually feels refreshing.
