Experiment with your own green salad recipes. 

Just about all raw fruits and veggies are good for a green salad. You can even add meats if you like. The sky's the limit. 

Here are just a few examples of ingredients you can add to jazz up a basic green salad:

Lettuce, Spinach, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Onions, Peppers, Radishes, Mushrooms, Spinach, Carrots, Celery, Beans, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Olives, Red cabbage, Alfalfa sprouts, Avocado, Corn, cheese, fruits, nuts, hard-boiled egg and croutons. 


By the way, croutons are super easy to make and much tastier than the store bought kind. Here's a crunchy crouton recipe for your next salad:
