Whatever's in the house. I often try for:

1 leaf (arugula, spinach, lettuce)
1 nut (almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, sesame or pumpkin seeds [I know])
1 cheese (ff feta, goat, parmesan)
1 fruit (cranberry, apple, pomegranate, persimmon)
1+ protein (tofu, chicken, avocado, chickpea, roast beef, leftover pork from last night)
+whatever veggies are in the fridge: roasted root veggies, bell pepper, carrots
balsamic vinegar + olive oil.

Romain Lettuce, 2 T dried Cranberries, 2 T Pine Nuts, PLUS Light Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing! You can add in Low Fat Feta or Avocado or sub Walnuts for Pine Nuts. I LOVE it!!!

More of a cold noodle salad than a leafy one, but still delish:

- cold soba noodles
- shredded cabbage
- shredded carrot
- bean sprouts

Dressing (I mix it with a touch of hot water so it all blends together):

- spoonful of peanut butter (the amount depends on how many calories I have to spare)
- drizzle of kecap manis (a bit less than the amount of peanut butter)
- sesame oil (just a drop or two)
- splash of fish sauce

I'm saladed out lol. I guess that what happens if you eat them 2-3 times a day. I too need some new ideas.

Okay, so I tried this Salad at a place called, Brio in the states and absolutely fell in love with it! Now I mimic it on my own and have it about once a week. It has: "Mixed greens tossed with grilled chicken, mushrooms, bacon, almonds, Gorgonzola cheese, apples, dried cranberries, crispy lavoush and Tuscan Italian dressing." I make mine without the bacon, because I don't eat pork, but you can use Turkey bacon in it. I substitute light feta cheese for the Gorgonzola and I grill my own chicken. I keep the dressing on the side (which in mine is an apple cider vinegar based homemade one -yum). It's really just the best mixture I've ever had and it's perfect for days when you want a lighter dinner.
