I have done pretty well on increasing my fruit intake but in looking at diet tips and the daily recommendations I really need to increase my veggies too. My delima is that I don't like a lot of cooked vegetables.

I have read that we should get 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily with more veggies than fruit though not by much.

Here's what I have tried so far:
Cucumbers
Green Bell Peppers
Baby Carrots
Celery
Califlower (haven't added that yet. I know I liked it in the past but that was with dip

)

Any suggestions? I thought about salads but find fat free or low fat dressings not even worth eating.

Remember I don't like a lot of cooked vegetables. I can stomach peas, hominy and LOVE any cooked white potatoes though there is controversy on if those are good or not.
