Usually we have tomatoes ,cucumber, a little onion, sliced peppers with Bacos, sunflower seeds and dried cranberries.
The hubby like Vidalia onion dressing, I like Russian.
When we have a family gathering I buy everything I see in the produce department to make the salad. Broccoli, which I steam a little to get rid of that really raw taste, cauliflower, mushroom's, chick peas, different greens, red cabbage, chopped hard boiled eggs, walnuts, grated cheese.
I separate the ingredients into serving dishes, usually paper because there are so many and serve it buffet style.
That way everyone can make it the way they want and it keeps longer because the more moist veggies don't wilt the lettuce and other greens.

I don't eat lettuce any more--got tired of it turning brown. I use spinach or kale to go in my salads and I add cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, peppers, mushrooms, onions and just about any other veggie I have. I always to my salads with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Blue cheese. Not the dressing, just a liberal sprinkling of chunks of blue cheese. I also like to quarter a head of lettuce and with my trusty salt shaker in hand, munch on a quarter as a snack.

I usually top a boring bag salad with onion, pickled banana pepper rings, and ripe olives.
Love hot peppers.
I usually have it with some type of vinegarette made with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, some type of citrus like lemon or lime and fresh herbs.
Fresh avocados and few diced purple onions with black crushed pepper is nice too. I’m a huge salad fan so I use many types of lettuce.
Red leaf lettuce is one of my favourite

I vary my lettuce: Live lettuce, romaine, red/green leaf lettuce and add:
cucumber, red pepper, carrots, celery, red onion, tomato, crumbled feta cheese, kalamata olives and top it all off with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I eat this almost every day and vary it with a Greek feta dressing.

My grandmother used to drizzle garden leaf lettuce with heavy cream and top it with a sprinkle of sugar as a simple salad.

Almost anything that's edible. I draw the line at peanut butter however. Love raspberry walnut dressing.

The easiest way to answer the question is to say antipasto with creamy Italian dressing.
My MIL years ago ask a waiter at an upscale restaurant for the recipe for a lettuce salad dressing. She got a charge tacked onto her bill and the following recipe:
Hellman's mayo
Milk stirred in to desired consistency
Garlic powder
My husband really likes this dressing as do I...lol.

Well, I've never...
Guess I won't be inviting you over for peanut butter and lettuce sandwiches, Lew. LOL!
