Fresh Fruit

Apples and pears are commonly added to salads, but other fruits taste great with veggies as well. Experiment with sliced grapes, blueberries, strawberries, melon, or bits of orange or grapefruit. The sweetness adds a little unexpected zing, so you may even be able to skip out on the dressing. Plus fruits add extra fiber and vitamins, and they're lower in calories than dried fruit.

I've always wanted to try avocado on a salad but wow that's a lot of calories for so little.

I love putting fresh fruit on my salad. Our raspberry bushes were in production overdrive so most of them ended up in a salad bowl. Yum!
