There's always the sweet version of salads:

Veggies
Mandarin Oranges
Dried Cranberry
Toasted Walnuts
Raspberry Vinagaigrette

My recent favorite is cranberries, I just love the texture that they add. My GF recommended some Balsamic Vinaigrette in addition to these, and it worked out great. As of about a year ago, I did not even want to touch a salad, but I have been eating them on a regular basis lately. BBQ chicken salads are awesome too (ranch + bbq sauce + bbq chicken + lettuce + random veggies). Also: always get romaine lettuce!

All salads suck. Salad isn't food. It's just something to occupy the time until the meal arrives.

I went directly to Wendy's after watching that commercial. Mainly because I hate 99.9999% of all advertising, so I felt they deserved a sale for making a commercial I actually enjoyed.

Could use some bacon bits, so I guess I'll have to pick up some applewood bacon from TJ's later

Add some sliced apples...and a pound of steak. That ought to delicify that salad by about 78%.

This.

I usually eat at least one large salad a day. I usually top it off with crushed red pepper though.

With eating so many salads I try to really to do something different every time.
