    I'm not really a salad kind of girl, but I had one today that was really good.

    Dark green lettuce
    cucumber
    carrots
    a few slices of chorizo
    15 g (half an ounce, I think?) grated vintage cheddar

    Dressing of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey and a little spicy mustard
    I used a LOT of vegetables for this.

    Chopped romaine, grape tomatoes, Japanese cucumber, a couple ounces of chicken breast, some avacado, a few sliced grapes and a couple slices of a nectarine, and either some Red Shell Miso dressing or I make some dressing (with rice vinegar+a tiny bit of mayo+a little bit of sesame oil+a splash of tempura dipping sauce...whip them together) A tablespoon or so of either dressing works. Just enough to give a splash of enhancement to the other flavors of the salad.
