Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Salad with a Natural Dressing

Fresh fruit and vegetable salad with a natural dressing is a type of salad that combines a mixture of fresh fruits and vegetables along with a dressing made from natural ingredients. The fruits and vegetables used in this salad can vary, but some common ones include greens like lettuce or spinach, berries like strawberries or blueberries, and vegetables like cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and avocado.

The natural dressing is typically made from ingredients such as extra-virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper.

This type of salad is a great option for those looking for a healthy and satisfying meal as it provides a good balance of nutrients including fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, while also being low in calories.
