Anyone have any easy salad ideas that don't include lettuce?
I have tried lots of different types of lettuce I just don't like the feel or thought of eating leaves, and possibly caterpillars.

My favourites are avocado, tomato and mozzarella salad (lay alternate slices on a plate then sprinkle with black pepper and fresh basil and drizzle over oil and vinegar if required); or
Cucumber and tomato salad (as above but without basil) as a fresh tasting side salad; or
Mixed salad of sliced beef tomatoes (or whole baby plum tomatoes), sliced cucumber, coarse grated carrot, small celery sticks, red onion rings. I usually throw it all in a salad bowl and add warmed fried scallops and chestnut mushrooms topped with my speciality homemade dressing. Mmmm....
1700 options here http://www.astray.com/recipes/?search=vegetable+salad - omit the leaves for any variation you fancy. A salad is what you make it - it does'nt have to have lettuce in the dish.
Coucous makes a nice base or bulgar wheat, or rice, with various savoury veg mixed through. Try artichokes, olive and peppers: beetroot and orange; red cabbage, carrott and peppers: celery, peas, cheese and onion - the list is huge so try combining your fave veg and keep it simple with a fresh dressing.
