I love a Caeser salad and this Asian salad that a little salad shop next to work makes. It includes a spring lettuce mix, mandarin oranges, cucumbers, edemame, hick peas and crunchy noodles with a homemade sesame dressing! They also put it in a wrap which is a nice change every once in a while 
Meal salads:
Blackened steak (sliced thin) with roasted/steamed baby potatoes, sliced red onion, dry sautéed mushrooms, gorgonzola cheese crumbles, mixed greens with a balsamic vinaigrette.
Rusty Pelican salad (local restaurant) made with steamed shrimp, hard boiled egg, sliced raw mushrooms, chopped chives, tomatoes, bib or red leaf lettuce tossed with a homemade honey mustard dressing. It was a composed salad dressed and tossed tableside.
Chicken Caesar salad with homemade dressing and croutons.
Nicoise salad is becoming a favorite.
Couscous salad made with leftover chopped Cuban pork, black beans, chopped red bell pepper, cilantro, red onions, sometimes we throw in some chopped green bell too, dressed with a red wine or balsamic vinaigrette.
Chef salad and Cobb salad.
Side salads:
Sliced avocado and red onions dressed with lime juice, olive oil, S and P to go with Cuban meals, no lettuce.
Arugula (sometimes mixed with spinach) with sliced red onion, dressed with lemon or lime juice, olive oil, S and P.
Wedge with blue cheese and bacon.
Either meal or side salad:
Spinach salad with hard-boiled eggs, bacon, and dressed with a warm to hot dressing made with bacon grease.

I pay for it later, but I love to take just iceberg lettuce, chop it up and drown it in Hidden Valley salad dressing. Let it sit until it is soft. then pig out on it. But I only do it about once or less a year.
