I am making a salad as one of the sides for pulled pork sandwiches on Sat. I want to make a "fun" salad (the leafy, green kind, not like macaroni salad or something) but I'm feeling very uninspired. What are some of your faves?

Candied pecans, cranberries, and blue cheese crumbles with a vinaigrette dressing on spinach leaves...love.

My mom makes one that is romaine, crispy rice noodles, cranberries, some candied almonds of sorts that she makes, and a vinaigrette. It's delicious, but I don't have the recipe

I know! Everyone always asks her for the recipe and she responds with, "I have it on a piece of paper somewhere." Infuriating! Give me a copy already!

My mom makes a wicked good layer salad that is always a big hit. I'll send her an email to see if I can find out what she puts into it.

I will be checking this thread for ideas, I'm supposed to be bringing a salad to Easter dinner!

Everything MrsMB wrote and add in sliced green apples with an apple cider vinegarette they have tons of apple cider vinegarette recipes online.

A similar warm weather twist is adding strawberries and/or blueberries with a vinegarette. Whole foods has some amazing vinegarettes.

I had a neighbor bring Crunchy Romaine Toss allrecipes.com/recipe/228117/crunchy-romaine-toss/ to a gtg a couple weeks ago, & it went over really well! I've definitely added toward the top of my list for salad varieties.

I usually just buy a bag of romaine and Caesar dressing. Lol. Not too fancy

But I love Cobb salads from restaurants. They have eggs, bacon, onions, blue cheese, sometimes other toppings too.

ISO made a wonderful veggie salad for Easter dinner. We ate the leftovers today and it was even better. He cut up cauliflower, broccoli, re, yellow and orange peppers, cucumber and green onion and used a garden salad dressing from a local market. I want to have it in the fridge all the time now!!!
