I would say Arugula and spring mix with salmon, egg, onion,tomato, avocado,cucumber, new potatoes, asparagus and green beans with light champagne viniagrette. So basically a salmon salad nicoise but with a few more veggies. and the arugula just has a wonderful flavor0

I love arugula so I make a chopped salad with Arugula, shredded cabbage, diced red bell pepper, cilantro, scallion, shredded carrots, sliced almonds, capers and top with either grilled chicken breast or a ground turkey burger0

I've had a lot - I love salad but recently I've been getting the Kale Caesar from Sweet Green but I modify it so that it's like the Hummus Tahini but with less calories. It can easily be recreated though - kale, romaine, tomatoes, shaved parmesan, falafel, hummus, lime cilantro jalapeno dressing.0

All of those sound delicious!!! I am trying to stay healthy but have been getting so bored with my usual salads!0

Best salad you will ever eat, guaranteed. Lots of prep work but worth it.1 -
My go to:
-kale
-romaine/ cabbage
-tomatoes (Roma or heirloom)
-cucumbers
-shredded carrots
-pickles
-sometimes a type of bean
Dressing: mixture of ACV, maple syrup, mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice. Creates a maple mustard dressing that goes well with the sharpness of the ACV!(:0 -
The salads that I tend to stick with at home are:
cobb salad (center cut bacon, HBE, gorgonzola, tomato) and I like to mix light champagne vinaigrette with light ranch
mesclun/spinach mix with craisins, sunflower seeds or some kind of nut, gorgonzola, and light champagne vinaigrette.
taco salad (turkey taco meat with homemade taco seasoning, all the fixins - salsa, light sour cream and hot sauce as dressing)
When I'm out I order just about any salad that sounds a little off. Something with lobster, beets, massaged kale, whatever.

My FIL makes a pretty great ham salad: it's got bologna, pickles, and ham in it. It's fantastic on toast.
But something tells me that's not quite what you're after here.0 -
Personally I've found that once I stopped making "loaded" salads, they got a lot better.
I find this article helpful for picking the right dressings for the right greens. Because different kind of greens respond differently to fat and acid and sweetness, I only pick one leafy green for each of my salads now.

Ps I just had the most delicious salad. Just baby kale, a medium boiled egg, some chopped almonds, and a nicoise dressing that was made with rolled anchovies, whole grain mustard, a ton of lemon juice, a dash of sugar, and extra virgin olive oil.
As someone mentioned above, you could also make it into a salmon nicoise with medium rare broiled salmon, some blanched green beans, and a couple of small boiled potatoes.

-Persion cucumbers
-Roasted/salted sunflower seeds
-Onion (if you like)

(I like the broccoli slaw because it stays crunchy and doesn't get soggy)0 -

I like my salads heavy: barley, beans, corn, peas, red peppers, green onions, vinegar, oil, and dill salad dressing. YUM. I want some calories in my salads. I can't stand to be hungry.0

This Harvest Apple Salad was great. The one I make the most is Breakfast Salad-soft boiled egg, bacon, spring mix lettuce, balsamic vinegar, olive oil.
Thanks for posting this, I need to steal new salad ideas.0 -

Don't mean to derail the thread but any others using Walden Farms dressings? I've hear some good and some bad thoughts.
Outside of my question, this salad sounds AMAZING.0 -
There's no such thing as a good salad. Anyone who eats them doesnt really do so for enjoyment....0
