Here are some variations to try.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add Protein:\u00a0<\/strong>To add some protein to this salad to make it heartier. Crumbled bacon, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/instant-pot-hard-boiled-eggs\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">hard-boiled eggs<\/a>,\u00a0or grilled chicken breast would be delicious! <\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch Up the Fruit: <\/strong>Add berries, pears, or apples to this salad. I love to stick with seasonal fruits because it is a seasonal salad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dried Fruit: <\/strong>Dried fruit would be a lovely addition. Dried cranberries or dried blueberries would be my first choice!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nuts: <\/strong>The nuts don\u2019t have to be candied, but I love the sweetness it adds. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Dressing: <\/strong>Even though the orange vinaigrette is perfect on this salad, it\u2019s fun to experiment with other dressing flavors! I would recommend this <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/balsamic-vinaigrette\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">balsamic vinaigrette<\/a> or my <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/apple-cider-vinaigrette\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">apple cider vinaigrette<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" alt=\"First photo of orange vinaigrette in a bowl.
