@cusegirl, Since it's been so hot outside I use put spring mix, cubed watermelon, feta cheese, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and a raspberry vinaigrette.

No lettuce for me......sometimes some argula but always english cucumber, either yellow or  green squash (semi-softened in the microwave), all colors of bell peppers, red onion, chick peas, Kalamata olives, croutons and dressed with Newman's Lemon Basil Vinagarette or a zesty Italian.

In addition to the many things listed above, I like to add black olives ... but NEVER put raw onion in anything.

spring mix, iceberg lettuce, cuke, tomatoe, egg, red pepper, zucchini, kalamato olive, onion.

Always a variety of dressings but favorites are balsamic vinaigrette, sweet french, greek vinaigrette and three cheese italian

I like baby butter lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, croutons, cranberries and when I'm not counting calories, cheese . Blue Cheese dressing when I'm bad, balsamic vinegar when I'm not.

we like the mixed baby greens from Trader Joe's,  romaine, cucumber , grape tomatoes or our own from our garden in the summer months, black olives, sunflower  seeds, sautéed onions, and homemade croutons .  Balsamic dressing.

I like just about any/everything in/on my salads----

Typically a mix of baby spring mix/butter lettuce/red butter lettuce plus cucumber, radish, chick peas, red pepper, kalamata olives, hearts of palm, artichoke hearts and sometimes mushrooms, jicama, red beets, avocado.  I also throw in either grated parmesean cheese or feta cheese.  Occasionally for some crunch I'll throw in some croutons or oven baked cheese bites (get this from Trader Joe's).

I mostly use olive oil and vinegar as a dressing but a variety of specialty balsamic vinegars.  Currently: Lemon, Cranberry Pear, Fig, Pomegranate.

I use my food processor and make a large tub of salad about twice a week. Then it's always at the ready for serving.

I add many types ( at least three different) of colorful lettuce, shredded cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, radishes and celery.

Before serving, I add cucumbers and tomatoes to the mix while it's in the individual serving bowls.  I don't add them to the tub because they're wet and make the lettuce go bad quickly.

Also, sometimes I might add cheese, olives and onions.  I always have blue cheese dressing for myself and make Italian dressing for others.

If I have fresh cauliflower or broccoli, I might put that in too.  Last week I only had one ear of corn, so I cut the corn off and added that.  I guess it depends on what's on hand.  I make a ton of salad and eat it every day.

I like mixed greens and spinach, cukes, black olives.  Prefer sautéed onions and peppers, and wonton strips or sesame sticks for crunch.  I like ranch or Ken's Asian dressing.  Sometimes shredded cheese.  Love a great salad.  Some days we have entree salads for our meal.
