    Haha! Minging!

    I was going to suggest some parmesan cheese, caesar dressing and croutons...voila...chicken caesar salad (supposed to have anchovies too I think but I've always thought that sounds :yuck: )

    Yoghurt mixed with spices and salt and pepper can make a salad really nice and its low fat as well.

    Pesto, olive oil and a tiny splash of balsamic vinigar for the dressing

    Jazz it up with some shredded spinach and toasted pine nuts

    I love salads, once I start making one I get carried away putting in all the stuff I like they end up huuuuge! I think thats ok since raw veggies are really good for you. I like:

    Sweetcorn, beans (any type), cherry tomatoes, blanched runner beans, grated carrot, jalapenos, avacado, roasted peppers, alfalfa sprouts...anything really lol!

    Pesto is a good shout, or maybe grate some lime or other citrus fruit in there?
    Figs are the food of the moment and supposedly good for you so maybe cram some of those in there.

    Ooof yes. Best salad I've ever had was from a mega posh restaurant on South End Green which was rocket, cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella with lots of lovely olive oil. Yumyumyum.

    My favourite grilled chicken salad is caesar though. Grated cheese, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, peppers, chicken, caesar sauce and whatever else you might like to add in.
