If your looking for a quick fix for some recent crazy high weigh gain by replacing high fat snacks with something healthy, there are some alternatives.  In a quick fix you cant add anything to them.  The first thing people do is put processed non organic peanut butter on celery or use dressing on their spinach leaves and lettuce.  The most challenging part is removing the taste you have gained for fatty items and adjust to the flavor of naturally low sodium/low fat vegetables.    The second most challenging part is having to deal with the inconvenience of having to keep shopping for healthy items and the arranging a means to carry them around until you want to snack.  

celery, lettuce, broccoli, carrots (not baby carrots-added sugar on those), spinach, apples, cranberries, raspberries, strawberries

The longer term not so much of a quick fix there is also
cauliflower, cucumbers, papayas, zucchini, grapefruit, mangos, oranges, pineapple, tangerines, black berries, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, prunes (a prune tastes and has the texture of a really big raisin), tomatoes

  I do have to say a seasoned organic tomato cut in half with some melted cheese on top is something I still eat when I am off my diet and is good enough to want to serve to other people visiting me.

  It is also worth noting that adding any kind of a milk based dressing is really doing yourself a disservice for multiple heath reasons.  In the levels of dressing most Americans typically add to a salad you might have done yourself better just going ahead and eating fried chicken.
