What are some good salad recipes?

preferably with meat?What are some good salad recipes?
I love salads because you can put in just about any salad ingredient and it will be good. I work in a deli and heres one of our salads:


spinach salad: spinach, red onion, feta cheese, bacon, and italian dressing. I love a salad I get from another deli in town. It's called a mixed greens salad: mixed greens, tomatoes, bell peppers, red cabage, garbonzo beans, turkey, avocado, sunflower seeds, olives, cucumber and soy bits with balsamic vinegrette dressing.What are some good salad recipes?
I love thai chicken salad. If your trying to beat the heat at the moment this one hits the spot, its refreshing and filling but not too heavy. This is made using Chinese cabbage/wombok but it works well with any type of cabbage. You can cook the chicken breast yourself or just use the same amount of cooked bbq chicken.

I love cesar salad. Crisp lettuce, cubes of chicken and parm cheese...top with croutons and cesar dressing. Hmm good!
Sometimes I like just a tossed green salad while other times I may add whatever I have left in fridge. This could be a hard boiled egg, cheeses, roast beef, cold chicken, ham, pepperoni, turkey, olives, pickles, etc.
