Xanthan Gum Free Stone Fruit Salad with Honey & Fresh Mint

Ripe peaches, nectarines, and sweet cherries come together in a bowl that looks like summer on a plate — jewel-toned, fragrant, and genuinely hard to stop eating. The dressing is a bright little whisked-together blend of honey, apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of ground ginger, and it pulls every piece of fruit into something that tastes more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Because the whole thing is built from whole fruits, fresh herbs, and pantry staples, there's nothing here that could sneak in a thickener or stabilizer — it's naturally free of any gum-based additives without any substitutions required. A short rest at room temperature lets the fruit release its own juices and mingle with the dressing, so by the time you serve it, you've got a light, glossy pool of flavor at the bottom of the bowl that's worth spooning up. Torn fresh mint woven through the fruit adds a cool, herby lift, and the optional basil at the end gives it a slightly more sophisticated edge if you want it. This is the kind of dish that works as a light dessert, a brunch side, or an afternoon snack when stone fruit is at its peak.
