So many meals are complemented perfectly by a fresh side salad. Whether you want to pack extra vitamins and minerals in, or simply want to balance your meal with a colorful and fresh addition to your plate, side salads are ideal. They’re also incredibly versatile and can be adapted in so many ways. Adding fruit is a great way to spice things up with minimal effort. Here are three fruits to try adding to your side salads.
Orange
This zingy citrus fruit has it all. It’s packed with healthy vitamins, it tastes amazing, and it brings some lovely color and aesthetic to a plain leafy salad. You may want to include peeled slices throughout the salad or leave the skin on the slices to be squeezed over the salad.
Grapes
This one is less common than orange in salads but works perfectly. You can leave them whole or slice them in half depending on your preference. They add a lovely sweet, freshness that pairs so well with savory flavors.
Apple
This crunchy fruit is great for gut health due to its high fiber content and also works well in so many salads. It pairs well with nutty flavors, such as cheese or walnuts, and is ideal for adding some interesting texture to your salad.
