    I like to add edamame to my salads.

    I love overloading salads with stuff. Sometimes I skip the lettuce if I can’t find Boston/bibb/butterhead, the only kind I like.to use at home. Ideal ingredients: red onion, tomato, black olives, cucumber, avocado, hard-boiled egg, chickpeas, cheese, turkey. So flavorful it doesn’t need dressing. A nice alternative is a simple salad based on red kidney beans or black bean, with tomatoes, cukes, and just a sprinkle of oil and vinegar.

    I make a simple garden salad recipe. I use a few cloves of garlic and the juice and zest from a whole lemon. I like to mix in some herbs like cilantro or parsley. I use 2 tablespoons of both honey and olive oil. You can put this over lettuce, but it would work over a lot of other things too. Cucumbers or avocado go great in it!

    In addition to what others have said, just add arugula equal to your lettuce/spinach. Much more flavorful than most other greens.

    I've recently started sprouting mung beans. Super easy to do, and only takes about 4 days. They add extra crunch & nutrition to a salad or slaw. How about sweet, colorful (Y/O/R) bell pepper or garden peas? Sundried tomatoes, various olives, or some of those pickled peppers (peppadews, etc.). I like spinach, but Romaine lettuce is a good base.

    How about a Quinoa Salad? Totally different direction .

    For dressings, I can make a quick one of yellow mustard, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian herbs & some sweetener. But I like a Cilantro-Lime Dressing I found online and I've even made Catalina dressing at home, that is "spot on." https://sweetandsavorymeals.com/homemade-catalina-dressing/
