Red Meat Allergy Friendly 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's just sweet enough, with a warm hint of cinnamon tying everything together. A scatter of fresh mint on top adds a cool, fragrant finish that makes it feel a little fancy without any extra work. Since every single ingredient here is naturally plant-based and free from any meat products, it's a completely worry-free choice for anyone navigating a red meat allergy — no label-reading required. It comes together in just a few minutes with nothing more than a bowl and a whisk, making it an ideal last-minute side for brunch, a light snack, or a palate-cleansing dessert. Serve it immediately after tossing so the fruit stays crisp and the dressing stays bright.
