Wheat Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Crisp apple slices and tender, juicy pears come together in a light, fragrant salad that feels just as at home on a brunch spread as it does alongside a weeknight dinner. The dressing is a simple whisked blend of fresh lemon juice, honey, and ground cinnamon — nothing fussy, nothing processed, just clean flavors that let the fruit shine. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herby lift that makes the whole bowl feel a little more special. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat and grain-based additives, there's no label-reading required and no substitutions to stress over. It's the kind of dish that proves eating around a dietary restriction doesn't have to mean settling for less — this one is genuinely craveable. Serve it immediately after tossing so the slices stay bright and the texture stays perfectly crisp.
