Your horoscope may have told you about your love life, financial future and health, but did it tell you what salad you should make? Dole debuted a celestial series of salad recipes this month in honor of National Salad Month (which is May, for those not in the salad know) that are custom created for each Zodiac sign.

The “Healthier by Dole” campaign is a monthly series of healthy recipes that provide festive alternatives for holidays and special occasions dominated by junk foods. This month’s series pays homage to the stars with 12 salads for the 12 astrological signs. 

“From the Virgo who appreciates a more structured bowl of greens to the Scorpio looking for more daring ingredients to the Gemini conflicted between sweet and savory, we’ve got your salad profile covered,” said Melanie Marcus, RD, MA and Dole’s nutrition and health communications manager, in a statement. Marcus is also the chef behind this month’s fortune-telling greens.

Blazin’ Fruit Salad – Created as a tribute to the bigger-than-life Maui in Disney’s "Moana," Dole’s Blazin’ Fruit Salad with lemon zest and grilled tropical goodness is the perfect choice for this spontaneous, often-impetuous sign that possesses an internal fire that sets it apart.

Taurus: April 20–May 20

Gemini: May 21–June 21

Sweet and Savory Potato Salad – Geminis, the twins, are a study in contradictions, and paradoxes—a dilemma that undoubtedly extends to the choice between savory and sweet. Dole's split-personality salad that delivers both flavor profiles.
