Soy Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pears come together in a bowl that feels both refreshing and a little bit fancy. A simple drizzle of lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon ties everything together with a warm, bright sweetness that makes this feel like way more than just fruit in a bowl. The lemon juice does double duty here — it keeps the slices looking fresh and adds a subtle tang that balances the natural sweetness of the fruit perfectly. Soy is notoriously sneaky, hiding in dressings, sauces, and packaged fruit salad mixes, but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward with zero hidden additives to worry about. Fresh mint scattered over the top is optional, but if you have it on hand, it adds a cool, herby lift that really elevates the whole dish. This comes together in just a few minutes with nothing more than a knife, a bowl, and a whisk — no cooking required. It works beautifully as a light dessert, a brunch side, or an afternoon snack that feels a little indulgent without actually being heavy.
