Tree Nut 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. A simple dressing of lemon juice, honey, and ground cinnamon ties everything together, brightening the fruit while adding just a whisper of warmth. Thinly sliced Honeycrisp or Fuji apples bring a satisfying crunch, while ripe Bartlett or Bosc pears add a buttery softness that makes every bite interesting. A scatter of fresh mint at the end lifts the whole bowl with a cool, herby finish — totally optional, but highly recommended. Because every ingredient here is whole and straightforward, there's zero guesswork about hidden additives or cross-contact concerns that can come with packaged fruit salads or store-bought dressings. It comes together in minutes with just a whisk and a bowl, making it an ideal side for brunch, a light dessert, or an afternoon snack that feels a little special.
