Do you like salads?

In Summer it's often too hot to eat something heavy. That's when I'll make one of my world-famous salads with pinto beans, hearts of palm, tomatoes, some kind of lettuce (maybe), tuna, and Marie's blue cheese dressing.
But even in Winter, I sometimes have a craving for a salad. Maybe I've been eating too much in the way of "heavy" foods, like beef stew, or ravioli, or Thai chicken, or Indian curry.
Last night, I had a taste for salad, so I made a simple one: romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, diced Swiss cheese, and (of course) Marie's blue cheese dressing.
It did the job, and I slept like a baby. Do you sometimes crave salads? What are your favorite kinds?

@CarolDM Had you tried putting Nori strips on your salad?

Anytime is a good time for salads. I like chef's salads the best. As far as I can tell, any salad with a bunch of ingredients qualifies as a chef's salad.

@TheHorse Ham is a very popular choice for them.

@xander6464 For awhile, many of our local grocery stores featured big "table" where you could make your own salad. It was a "chef salad extravaganza." But I see fewer of them now.

I'll be eating salads for lunch most days during the week in the upcoming weeks. I'll grill marinated chicken and have it over romaine lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, and radishes. Extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar will be the dressing. Yum!

@NJChicaa, I love that strips of grilled chicken over romaine lettuce. I had tried that only that I did not put radish but instead some pineapple bits.

I love a tossed salad any time of the year. I love it loaded with cherry tomatoes, red onion, black olives, shredded carrots, beets, sunflower seeds and topped with Marie's blue cheese dressing. Lots of times I'll throw grilled chicken in it

Your salad sounds yummy. My favorite is raw spinach, avocado, walnuts, tomatoes, homemade croutons, a little cheese, chicken, and my olive oil/raspberry vinegar dressing. Although I do love a good Blue cheese.

We've made a new rice salad for our musicians tonight. It has dried apricots, sultanas and walnuts as well as a few other bits and pieces. Hopefully they'll like it. Americans seem to have really exotic items in their salads - which is a good thing. I guess we're not hugely into salads or we stick to 'simple'.

I love just all kinds of salads, be it macaroni with chicken or ham salad, vegetable salad, but I missed waldorf salad. Apples are expensive in my area so haven't had this for a while.
