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?

Make a whole bunch. Toss with vinaigrette. Take some and toss with leafy greens. Save the rest for the rest of the week. For the rest of the week, just add leafy greens. Leafy greens go weird when soaking in vinaigrette, but the stuff in the list doesn't.
