May be this will work. Obviously, inspired by the fave veggie thread. But a salad can be way more than vegetables, like fruit salad or ambrosia. Mine:

baby spinach
tomatoes
cucumbers
red bell peppers
balsamic vinaigrette

    my friend makes my favorite thai slaw salad...it's great all year round, but perfect for the summer. it's a light, fresh and flavorful salad that can be used as an entree by adding some grilled shrimp or chicken or as a fresh side dish.

    The Salad:
    1 (16 oz) prepared shredded cabbage (coleslaw mix) from produce department
    1/4 european seedless cucumber, sliced into thin sticks
    1 small red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
    3 scallions, thinly sliced on bias
    20 leaves fresh basil, shredded

    The Dressing:
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1/4 cup white distilled or rice wine vinegar
    2 teaspoons sugar or 2 tablespoons honey
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
    1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

    Toss the salad with the dressing in a serving bowl and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

    My boss makes a wonderful salad:

    Spinach
    Sliced red onions
    Strawberries
    Sliced Almonds
    Chicken breast

    With a home made Poppy and Sesame seed Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.

    I'm not sure of the measurements, but I know the dressing has sugar, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, onion, poppy, and sesame seeds and worcester sauce.

    If anyone is interested in knowing the exact recipe, PM me and I can grab it for you at work.
