Most fruit will food combine well with tender leafy greens like the various lettuces or celery.

But a lot of vegetables found in a salad may not combine well with bananas. Tomatoes or anything acidic will not combine. If your dressing has some acidic substance in it, that won't work so well either.

Would you find leaves with fruit in the wild? Yes you would. Therefore it might not only be possible to include them, it might be OPTIMAL to include them. Obviously it would be best of all to include the actual leaf of the fruit that you're eating but of course that's not always possible.

I find it's always worth taking a natural/evolutionary perspective for these things. Some try to say it's an "appeal to nature", more like an "appeal to logic"!!!! Nutritional research, by its very nature, does not know two things. 1. What bad things synthetic materials are doing to us. and 2. What good things natural things are doing to us. As we progress in nutritional research, we're finding out those things, but we'll never know all of it.

No, it is not. Only lettuce and celery are to be combined with fruit. Neither of these require digestion, which is why you can eat them with fruit. You do not want to uphold fruit in your stomach, because fruit needs to be processed right away before it spoils. Remember; humid and warm = wine!
