Clean eating is essential to a long healthy life, but sometimes clean eating is a challenge. The key to living healthy is finding that balance between enjoying the foods you love and making the foods that are good for you fun and interesting. Green salads do not have to be boring. With the right ingredients, a green salad bursts with flavor!
Green salads are a great way to eat a nutritious meal and get lots of great antioxidants. A green salad is intriguing when you add a bounty of fresh green fruit. This salad was created in my kitchen with fresh ingredients I had in my kitchen from a recent visit to the farmers market. Romaine lettuce, honeydew melon, green apple and kiwi with a honey lime dressing and lime jello bits make this a delicious and very nutritious salad. Sweet, tart and
absolutely sublime.

Omg this is so Yummy and I'm looking for new fun ways to prepare fresh ingredients! Thx diva!
LV, this looks so delicious! I love how you incorporated the fruit (especially two of my faves- kiwi and honeydew melon) into the salad. I will be stealing this recipe from you and using it this week ;-)
Your food (as well as your fashion & flows) always inspires me! Thanks for sharing, darling!
I often put citrus or other fruit in my salads but I've never put kiwi in there. It's easy to grow here too so they're not expensive. I must try this soon.
I've never had kiwi in a salad! I'll have to try this out!

I enjoy fruit in my salad, too. This salad looks delicious. I've never tried this combination.
Oooh this looks sooooooo good! The granny smith is my fave apple and I love green grapes. I have been murdering the Wendy's berry and almond salad as if late. I have it at least twice a week...at least.lol. Then it occurred to me that I could make it myself. I was one never to put fruit in my salad until recent so it really never occurred to me...duh. Well, I made it and it was good! Now I will try this soon. Thanks for the recipe!

Whew… that SALAD looks very inviting! Your pictures are ALWAYS so beautiful… what kind of camera do you use?
This looks delish. Almost looks good to juice. Although I don't know if lettuce can be juiced lol.
Love how clear your photos are.
mmmm yum! I could see the kiwi being an amazing tomato substitute. I may have to try this...don't usually like sweet salads, but this looks delicious!
