The SDMB salad bar

In My Humble Opinion
1

So I’m at the grocery store salad bar, trying to put something together for dinner. A little of this, a little of that. (The market where I shop has an outstanding salad bar.) This is what I ended up with:
[ul]
[li]Some leaf-lettuce mix[/li][li]Some iceberg lettuce mix[/li][li]Some spring mix (different herbs n’ stuff)[/li][li]Some crabmeat (it’s real; this is one of the reasons the salad bar is awesome)[/li][li]Some bacon bits[/li][li]Some blue cheese[/li][/ul]
Topped nicely with Italian dressing.

This is the question. What do you guys like in salad?

Lettuce (I don’t care what kind, but it damn well better be bite sized . . . I hate newspaper-sized pieces of lettuce that must be cut), cheese, and Ranch dressing, on the side.

I have very simple tastes.

Lettuce, Raisins, Cheddar Cheese, real bacon , home made croutons and Thousand Island dressing (note I usually don’t get that ambitious, most of the time it is plain lettuce with a pepper cut into it)
