Sesame Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Crisp apple slices and tender pears come together in a light, fragrant salad that feels equally at home on a brunch spread or as a refreshing afternoon snack. The dressing is a simple trio of fresh lemon juice, honey, and ground cinnamon — just enough to brighten the natural sweetness of the fruit without overpowering it. A handful of fresh mint scattered on top adds a cool, herbal finish that makes the whole bowl feel a little more special. Because this recipe is built entirely from whole fruits and pantry staples, there's zero guesswork about hidden ingredients or cross-contact concerns — everything on the list is exactly what it sounds like. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife, a bowl, and a quick whisk, making it one of those rare dishes that looks impressive with almost no effort. Serve it immediately for the best texture, when the fruit is still crisp and the dressing is fresh and glossy.
