    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.

    organic baby greens
    juicy strawberries
    feta cheese or crumbled goat cheese
    lightly candied walnuts or pecans
    newman's light balsamic dressing

    In the winter I do asian pears, dried cherries, or dried cranberries instead of the strawberries.

    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
