Favorite salads

I like the idea of doing salads for lunch. I get a 30 minute lunch at work, so not having to heat up a lunch saves some time. What do you like to put on your salads other than veggies. I've done taco salads, with taco meat and kidney beans; a salad with lemon pepper chicken and hard boiled eggs; and a typical chef salad.

    Lettuce and spinach, beans, meat of choice (barbacoa/pulled pork is my fave but chicken, steak, turkey, salmon, tuna, smoked duck breast, ham, whatever is all good), charred broccoli and/or zucchini, shredded carrots and/or cabbage, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, egg (an over easy egg is DELICIOUS and creamy)....

    Limited, optional toppings: small amount of cheese (don't really need it with the flavorful dressing. Feta is best), bacon, sunflower seeds, ?

    Dressing: 2-3 parts guac/squished avocado, 1 part salsa, 1 part ranch dressing. OMG.

    You can make a week's worth ahead of time (except maybe the avocado, add citrus to delay browning)

    If you mix it with lettuce, it's a salad. That's my philosophy. Anything and everything belongs in there. :)

    I'm kind of boring with my salads, but I make mine with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, bacon bits, shredded cheese and either ranch or caesar dressing. I'm also a fan of homemade Italian. Sometimes I'll dice up some chicken and add it to my salad. I love salads! :)

    I love to have strawberries & blueberries with grilled chicken on my salads with goat cheese and poppyseed dressing. Delicious.
