Vegetarian Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Sweet, crisp apples and juicy ripe pears are the kind of pairing that just works, and a simple honey-lemon dressing with a whisper of cinnamon ties everything together beautifully. This is the kind of dish that looks effortless on a brunch table but tastes like you actually thought about it. The lemon juice does double duty here — it brightens the flavor and keeps those gorgeous fruit slices from browning before they hit the bowl. A scatter of fresh mint at the end adds a cool, herby lift that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. Every single ingredient is naturally plant-based, so there's no need to swap or substitute anything to keep it meat- and egg-free. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a knife, a bowl, and a whisk, making it an easy win for busy mornings, potlucks, or a light dessert.
