Do you have a ';lite'; crowd pleasing salad recipe?

Looking for a ';different'; type of salad to serve at our weekly small group--leaning more toward a lighter fare. The salad will be served with seafood stuffed sole with hollandaise, so I don't want to serve a heavy salad. Maybe something with fruit?

I love a fennel salad which goes beautifully with fish. Just finely sliced a bulb fennel, a small amount of the feathery leaves, equal amount of finely sliced celery and toss with a very light french dressing, if you want to add a bit more zing segments of orange (especially blood oranges)
