Alpha Gal Friendly Stone Fruit Salad with Honey & Fresh Mint

Summer stone fruit is at its absolute best when it's barely touched — just sliced, tossed, and left to shine. Ripe peaches, nectarines, and sweet cherries come together here in a bowl that looks stunning and tastes even better, with a honey-lemon dressing that draws out every drop of natural juice. A pinch of ground ginger and a splash of apple cider vinegar give the dressing just enough edge to keep things interesting without overpowering the fruit. Torn fresh mint woven through the salad adds a cool, herbal lift, and a scatter of basil on top makes the whole thing feel like something you'd order at a nice restaurant. Managing alpha-gal syndrome means steering clear of mammalian products, and this recipe is naturally built around ingredients that never come close to that concern — it's all fresh fruit, honey, citrus, and herbs, full stop. No dairy, no gelatin, no hidden animal-derived additives to second-guess. The short rest time before serving is a small but smart step that lets the fruit macerate slightly, turning the dressing into a light, glossy syrup that coats every piece beautifully. It's the kind of dish that works as a side, a light dessert, or an impressive addition to any warm-weather spread.
