Rice 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. Honeycrisp or Fuji apples bring a satisfying crunch, while ripe Bartlett or Bosc pears add a soft, juicy contrast that makes every bite interesting. A simple dressing of lemon juice, honey, and ground cinnamon ties it all together with a warm, bright finish that elevates the fruit without masking it. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, aromatic lift that makes the whole bowl feel a little more special. There are no grains, starches, or fillers hiding in here — just whole fruit and pantry staples, so it fits naturally into a rice-free lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife and two bowls, making it an ideal side for brunch, a light dessert, or a refreshing afternoon snack.
