I buy spring mix and add:

Cucumber
Radishes
Shredded cheddar or parm (whichever i have)
Crimini mushrooms (baby portabellos)
Sometimes garbonzo beans, although better with iceberg lettuce
Fresh dressing with evoo and whatever catches my fancy

depends on the day. Most often I don't have dressing on my salads. For me I enjoy the flavor of the veggies as the stand on their own.

I like most types of salads. Sometimes I'll do a mixed greens with fruit and nuts or seeds with a little bit of feta and other times I enjoy having a variety of veggies and shredded colby cheese on the salad....it all depends on whats available in the house. I do prefer a spinach mix of greens more than a iceberg lettuce mix. Every once in a while I even throw on some beans (kidney, black bean, pinto).

I don't have a preference I guess...I merely go by what I have and what mood strikes me.

Currently we are doing an iceburg/romaine mix ($1 difference between and we eat a lot daily) but we are going to start incorporating baby spinach as well.

Carrots, sunflower seeds, hard boiled eggs, corn and tortilla strips. Sometimes edamame, but I normally keep that around to snack on it. Topped with ranch, the occasional balsamic if I find a good one that I like.

homemade..Thousand Island, Chinese Sesame Dressing or Vinaigrettes mostly..

Star, I agree. Plain salad mixes bore me. Have you seen the super food mix of salad? It has kale, spinach. Shaved brussels sprouts, shaved cabbage in it plus a packet of almond slivers, dried cranberries., and walnuts in it. It is really good, lots of crunch in it also. I like the spicy asian mix and alter it with super foods one!

There is a restaurant near me that makes my favorite salad. It's called the Magna Fry Steak Salad.

It's mixed greens, hard boiled eggs, bacon, and shredded cheddar. Then it's topped with skirt steak and a pile of french fries. Served with ranch dressing.

Best salad ever.
