julienned carrots
chopped red pepper
sliced almonds (toasted)
thai basil and or mint
chicken (shredded a rotisserie chicken from new seasons... way less salty then anywhere else)

dressing :
rice vinegar

I'm on board except for the sprouts.  And throw some minced garlic in that dressing.  

And there is nothing better than some nuts to go along with the cheese.

i eat those little shreds of carrots off of a salad, thats pretty much it, maybe ill dip my finger into ranch dressing and eat that but ranch cant really be apart of the salad if thats the only thing im eating, more like saying i like ranch and theres a salad under it that i dont eat

Shredded iceberg lettuce
cherry tomatoes
cucumbers
red onion
diced red peppers
sliced grilled chicken breast
few sprinkles of black pepper
some form of Italian/ranch (preferably on the side)

Pretty basic but tough to beat

A salad is not supposed to be a casserole.  It's a salad.

You guys are losing it.........

Salads are not supposed to be house enchiladas.

Salads are designed to cleanse the pallette.
