-candy sweet melon. Juicy, heart-healthy berries. Plump, mellow mango. Sweet, fragrant peaches, nectarines and apricots. All these summer fruits are delicious alone, but chopped and tossed in low-fat dressings spiked with ginger, lime, or mint, they make colorful, low-calorie dishes you'll want to serve every day.

Summer Melon with Fig and Prosciutto

A classic Tuscan blend of sweet, salty, and juicy, this surprisingly low-calorie salad is perfect as an appetizer or side. (Don't overthink the recipe; it calls for three kinds of melon and several types of greens, but you can use what's fresh at the market.)
