Can someone quickly give me a BADASS salad recipe?

wait, do you want a salad recipe or a salad dressing recipe?

Thanks. She's a good woman and deserves it.

last night I made a salad of kale and spinach (raw .. just massaged w/ olive oil) then added raw red onion, halved grape tomatoes, feta, and chopped up green onion pork sausage (can also throw some lardons in there instead or 86 the meat all together), then made a vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic and balsamic vinegar.

Other additions that would be good are hard boiled egg, olives, pecans/walnuts.

buy a rotiserre (sp) chicken, cranberries and add to a spring mix. easy and good.

Sliced firm pear, shaved manchego cheese, frisee or other bitter greens, and decent sized chunks of crispy bacon. Simple french vinagrette w/dijon, red wine vinegar, and EVOO.

Or make a vinagrette w/steen's, creole mustard, and cider vinegar, toss with some boiled shrimp, and chop/tear romaine or iceberg. Halved boiled eggs and cherry tomatoes to finish it off.

Or make a slaw instead of a lettuce-based salad. Red cabbage, slivered celery, chopped carrots, and a chopped green apple...use a decent buttermilk dressing thinned with a little vinegar, add a pinch of sugar. Colorful and filling. If she likes more protein, top with roasted pecans.

Right now my only requirements are chicken and lettuce

Doesn't meet your requirements, but this is my favorite:

spring mix
drizzle ranch
ground pepper
chopped boiled eggs
cheese
baby carrots
rolled, chopped deli ham and turkey
croutons

in that order

Hot spinach salad, just nuke the dressing at work. Google will provide a decent enough recipe.

Probably not for today, but there is an excellent Thousand Island dressing in this post.
