Xanthan Gum Free Gluten Free Apple Pear Fruit Salad
Fresh, crisp apples and ripe pears are the stars here, dressed in a simple honey-lemon vinaigrette with a warm hint of cinnamon. The result is a fruit salad that feels a little more intentional than the usual bowl of mixed fruit — bright, fragrant, and genuinely satisfying. For anyone navigating gluten-free eating and trying to avoid common binders and additives, this one is naturally in the clear with zero processed ingredients to second-guess. The dressing comes together in seconds by whisking lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon, so there's no complicated prep standing between you and a beautiful bowl of fruit. A handful of fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herby lift that makes it feel almost fancy. It works as a light dessert, a brunch side, or an afternoon snack that actually feels like a treat.
