Salad requests

mousmeDear flist,
I am on a salad kick. It's part of my new healthy-eating thing. My problem, such as it is, is thus: I am not an experienced salad person. My salads are therefore pretty standard: lettuce, raddichio, cucumber, tomatoes, and peppers. Occasionally avocado. Today I went wild and added red cabbage. Sometimes I remember to put in spinach, but I usually forget.
So I want to broaden my horizons. What delicious salads do you make? I am open to suggestions, although I reserve the right to ignore ingredients I don't like (endives, for instance: blick).
Ideally, the salads would be non-creamy in nature (in terms of the dressing), and not too heavy on the protein (nuts, chicken, whatever), but I am not averse to having that sort of salad listed as well, for the occasional change of pace.
Ideas?
