Pregnancy Friendly Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh fruit is one of those cravings that hits hard during pregnancy, and this simple salad delivers exactly what your body is asking for. Crisp apple slices and tender, ripe pears come together in a light honey-cinnamon dressing that feels indulgent without a single ingredient you'd need to second-guess. The lemon juice keeps everything bright and prevents browning, so it looks just as good as it tastes. Eating well for two doesn't have to mean complicated cooking — this comes together in minutes with just a whisk and a bowl. The optional fresh mint adds a cool, refreshing finish that makes the whole thing feel a little fancy. It's the kind of dish that works as a snack, a side, or even a light dessert when sweet cravings strike.
