    Baby spinach, marinaded chicken breast, shredded cheddar, bacon, tomato, cucumber and Hidden Valley Ranch. Sometimes I'll add avocado. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

    Antipasto-style salad
    3 c romaine
    Cucumber (I usually use about 3-4 inches worth)
    1 med tomato (vine ripened)
    1 stuffed hot cherry pepper Chopped (I rinse the oil off). I like the one stuffed with prosciutto and provolone
    5-8 marinated mushrooms chopped
    3 quartered artichoke hearts (not the ones in oil)
    1/2 c cannellini beans
    2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette

    Chicken-orange
    3 cups mesclun or spring mix
    4 oz grilled chicken
    1/4 c sliced hearts of palm
    1/4 cup orange segments
    Dressing 1tsp olive oil 2tsp lemon juice

    3 cups baby spinach
    1/2 cup broccoli slaw
    4 sliced mushrooms
    1/2 c chopped zucchini
    1/2 c chick peas
    2 tbsp balsamic vinaigrette

    Mexican salad
    3 c mixed greens
    1 cooked boca burger chopped
    1/4 c black bean & corn salsa
    1/4 sliced avocado
    1/2 c chopped cucumber
    Handful of grape tomatoes

    As the World Turns Salad (so named because I remember eating this with my mom out of a metal mixing bowl while watching the soap when I was about 4)
    Lettuce (back in the early 70s it was iceberg)
    Tomatoes--however many you felt like
    Cucumber
    Shredded carrot--maybe 1/4 c
    1 can drained chunk light tuna in water
    2 tbsp thousand island dressing

    My favorite salad... Watergate Salad


    1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
    1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Pistachio Flavor Instant Pudding
    1 cup JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
    1/2 cup chopped PLANTERS Pecans
    1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping


    This is as close to a salad as I can come. I don't like the taste or texture of salad (think it stems from uncooked veggies, which are nasty to me). Strange I know... Veggies I love cooked I cannot eat raw.
    Besides, if I ate salads what would the bunnies of the world eat? I couldn't let an innocent lil' rabbit starve :tongue:

    Couscous
    Roasted pumpkin
    Chickpeas
    Red onion
    Toasted pinenuts
    Flat leaf parsley
    Olive oil
    Lemon juice

    Also, aged Balsamic Vinegar (25 years) will make even the most boring green salad taste amazing. It's for drizzling not drenching though. Depending on the brand you can find yourself paying through the nose for it.
