The creator! I personally love cheese on a salad, along with mayonnaise.

Although, I have prawns, mixed with oregano, and garlic, drop it atop of pasta after cooked, drop tomato's, cucumber, courgette's anything into it along with pea's, add some cheese, I like adding mozerella sliced cheese, the different kind from what you get on Pizza's, add spinach or lettuce and it's delicious!

Hi! I think it's a matter of personal preference and what a person is in the mood for. I like diced cucumber, mushrooms, shredded cheese, chicken meat, sunflower seeds, croutons, and different dressings on my salad depending on my mood. :-)

Thousand island dressing is great.I like it the most.Besides lemon juice or vinegar can also be a good dressing.Vegetables as carrot,olives,lettuce can make salad taste better.
