As a child my mom only bought iceberg lettuce and thats how I enjoyed my salad with some bacon bits and ranch dressing on top but I know that has no nutritional value in it at all. I have tried eating spinach leaves but didn't like it at all, which is crazy because I eat cooked spinach often. Does anyone have any other suggestions to how to make a salad that is not only nutritious but one that I might also enjoy?

Try Romaine or Cos lettuce. You can even mix some iceburg with Romaine and even toss in a little baby spinach. You'll find that it will actually get fun as you get more and more creative. I make a mexican salad by mixing in avocado, and sometimes a bit of corn and sometimes I'll put some chicken on top and some black beans. I use about a tablespoon of salsa instead of dressing and have some multigrain tortilla chips on the side. Oh, and don't forget a little shredded cheese on top.
