I worked at a fancy 4 star restaurant in HS and after I was promoted from busboy to salad chef I was taught to "tear the lettuce" by hand, not cut it. When I asked the owner why he said the hand torn pieces had better flavor because the tearing exposed more edges of the lettuce.
He's correct, but for the wrong reason.
Tearing the lettuce allows the cells to rip apart along their natural borders. Cutting the lettuce slices through the cell walls and releases enzymes that will wilt your lettuce at the cut edges.

Y’all just don’t know a good “at work”salad. Who’s got time for bowls? Go medieval or go to McDonald’s.

Homemade croutons are awesome and would highly reccommend. Throw in stuff you like and omit stuff you don't. Fresher the better. Also experiment with the way you cut your veggies. Medallions, slivered, shredded, big hunks, small hunks etc. If you go to a restaurant or wherever and think "I really like the way they slice their carrots" or "I like that they use this kind of lettuce", or whatever, steal that and add it to your own.

Probably sounds simple but adding some fruit like blueberries and strawberries to any salad (lettuce, toms, cukes, protein, shredded cheese, etc.) is a nice way to add another unique flavor.
