Brazil Nut Free Grape and Apple Salad with Honey-Ginger Dressing
This fruit salad is the kind of dish that looks effortless but tastes like you actually tried — sweet grapes, crisp apple slices, and a honey-ginger dressing that ties everything together with a little warmth and brightness. The dressing comes together in seconds by whisking honey, fresh lemon juice, grated ginger, and a touch of Ceylon cinnamon, which has a gentler, more floral flavor than the standard supermarket variety. Fresh mint scattered over the top adds a cool, herby lift that makes the whole bowl feel a little more special. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, fruit salads can still be a minefield when store-bought versions sneak in trail mix toppers or nut-based dressings — here, every single ingredient is clean and straightforward with no hidden surprises. It works beautifully as a light dessert, a brunch side, or even a refreshing afternoon snack. Make it right before serving for the best texture, or let it chill in the fridge for up to an hour so the flavors can meld together even more.
