    Broccoli
    Beans
    Quinoa (great for salads)
    Tofu
    Cheese
    Nuts
    chickpeas
    tempeh
    edamame
    seitan
    hempseed
    quorn
    eggs

    I'd add lentils to this list, lentils are 1:1 protein:carbs which is pretty darn good, better than quinoa and beans for protein. When I was eating 250g of protein a day a lentil-chicken curry helped do the trick.
    Black Soybeans as well. Super awesome food.

    Love all of these although I understand that only a few vegetable sources (quinoa & soya for example) provide you with a complete protein source (all of the essential amino acids) in the same way that meat does.

    However vegetarian protein sources can be partnered to achieve this, such as beans on toast

    Eggs I am a bit funny with, I am okay with them some of the time but not great with them the rest of the time. I could probably do an omelette with a little bit of butter and milk with my salad once a week.

    My neighbour has fresh duck eggs I get for free too, so that might be quite nice.

    I have been having grilled chicken with salad and salmon with salad, I'm not a huge fan of red meat. Maybe ham and salad? Though Ham is quite high in calories isn't it...

    salmon or white fish? shrimp, scallop, lobster do the job, too.

    nobody mentioned fish? why?

    sardine, tuna, are all good for salad.

    oh I see, OP wants vegetarian options...

    Some good ideas already, but perhaps you should broaden your horizons in general...if it were me, it wouldn't be the meat I was getting bored with but the fact that I'm eating the same salad with the same meat all the time.

    I eat a lot of salmon, chicken, and lean cuts of pork and I cook them and serve them in about a million different ways. You don't have to have salad all of the time.
