I don't think so.
I'm not sure I've ever made the same salad twice.
I also like cold leftover vegetables (broccoli, brussels sprouts, whatever you have)
I like the combination of hot meat (leftover lean pork, chicken, steak) on salad with cheese - melts the cheese a little.
Taco salad
Salads with a whole grain as a base - brown rice salads with veggies and dressing; whole wheat pasta salad with tuna, onions, celery, mayo, celery seeds; whole wheat pasta salad with diced veggies and italian dressing; tabouli salad with veggies & dressing
Salads with multiple kinds of canned beans (green, wax, french), canned beans (kidney, black turtle, white northern), corn, green peppers, onions, italian dressing
Hot stir fry on spinach
Cabbage - traditional coleslaw, cabbage used in place of lettuce or with lettuce, shredded with other dressings on it,
carrot salad with raisins
Raw kohlrabi grated with carrots with mayo and lemon juice
Wedged tomatoes, feta, kahlamata olives, onions & green peppers (Villager Salad)
Shrimp, onions, green peppers & dressing
Ham, mustard, mayo, onion, pickles all run through a food processor.
Tuna salad in a tomato, in a pepper half, in a scooped out cucumber half (long way)
Baked sweet potato chilled and cubed added to a green salad (lettuce and raw veggies)
Cooked diced cauliflower, chilled and dressed the same as your favorite potato salad
Salad nicoise - Boiled potatoes (Substitute cold steamed caulflower), hard boiled egg, steamed & chilled whole green beans, tomatoes, black or kahlamata olives, capers & tuna (plain canned tuna, seared ahi) with a vinaigrette dressing
Egg salad
Chicken salad
Fruit salad
Finger salad (no lettuce, everything cut up large enough to pick up with your fingers)
Chopped salad - any lettuce based salad mixed up and chopped up on the cutting board before going into the serving bowl.
Canned pear (in natural juice of course) with cottage cheese
Another thing that can really change up a salad is the same salad with a different dressing. Or the same basic salad with different goodies (different kinds of olives, different dried fruit, different fresh fruit, different cheese, slice of pickled beet)
