Pistachio Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh, crisp, and naturally sweet, this apple and pear salad is the kind of dish that feels effortless yet looks beautiful on the table. A simple dressing of lemon juice, honey, and a whisper of cinnamon ties the sliced fruit together in a way that feels far more intentional than the sum of its parts. Unlike store-bought fruit salads that can hide unexpected mix-ins like candied nuts, this one is made entirely from scratch with a short, transparent ingredient list. The lemon juice keeps the fruit bright and prevents browning, while the honey adds just enough sweetness without overpowering the natural flavor of the apples and pears. A handful of fresh mint stirred in at the end lifts the whole bowl with a cool, herby finish. It comes together in minutes and works just as well as a light dessert as it does alongside a savory brunch spread.
