What goes best in salad?

Hm. I think that's a very individual question. At a nice salad bar (not that I've been to one in YEARS at this point; Thais don't believe in salad bars, and the English don't mean the same thing by "salad"), I put in lots of different kinds of lettuces (but usually not spinach), and I like my salads to be very protein-y, so I usually put in some boiled egg and some cheese, too (maybe tuna, if I'm making the salad myself rather than at a salad bar; salad bar tuna tends to taste metallic). I don't like tomatoes much, and only like cucumbers in minimal amounts. Sliced black olives, if available; carrot slivers; croutons; a few radishes; red and yellow bell peppers; mushrooms; a pinch of alfalfa sprouts; a scattering of bacon bits...
