Looking for Salad Ideas
 

There are only so many green salads I can eat with vinegarette dressing before I start to get COMPLETELY BORED! :dz: Can you all offer some other tasty and easy ideas? The other salad I make myself occassionally is tomato, cucumber and red onion in balsamic vinegar and a dash of olive oil. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
