Nutmeg Free Grape and Apple Salad with Honey-Ginger Dressing
This fruit salad is a bright, refreshing bowl of color and flavor that feels equally at home as a light dessert, a brunch side, or a midday snack. Red and green grapes bring natural sweetness and a satisfying pop, while crisp apple slices add a little tartness and texture to every bite. The honey-ginger dressing is where things get really interesting — a quick whisk of honey, fresh lemon juice, and finely grated ginger creates something zippy and aromatic without relying on any warming spices that might cause concern. Ceylon cinnamon adds a gentle, almost floral warmth that's noticeably softer and more delicate than the cassia variety, making it a smart choice for anyone keeping a close eye on their spice cabinet. Fresh mint scattered over the top lifts the whole dish and makes it look genuinely stunning with almost zero extra effort. It comes together in minutes and can be made slightly ahead, so it's a stress-free option when you need something crowd-pleasing on the table fast.
