Good, Fresh Salad Recipes?

What are some ways to make a good, fresh salad? I want to add variety, and hopefully find something the kids will like and eat.Good, Fresh Salad Recipes?
My kids went from ';no greens'; to big salad eaters and here are a few tips you might want to consider.





1 - Let them help pick out new toppings at the store. Nuts, berries, unusual fruits, and new veggies will catch their interest. It's also easier to get them to try it if THEY picked it out. ';Make your own'; makes salad more fun.





2 - Get the dressing. Kids love to dip. Let them taste a whole bunch of dressings, and then put their favorite on the side. A boring piece of raw broccoli is another matter if there's a ginger sauce to dip in.





3 - Don't hesitate to appeal to their sweet side. A couple of candied walnuts or dried apricots can add a lot of flavor %26amp; nutrition to a salad, plus appeal to the sugar taste, all while being OK in calories if used sparingly.





A few combinations that always work at our house:





Caprese Salad - Take the traditional flavors of tomato, mozzarella, and basil and add it to any salad. Pine nuts or croutons give crunch.





Summer Salad - Romaine %26amp; spinach, fresh berries, cucumbers, a little butterkase cheese, and raspberry vinagrette





Rabbit Salad - lettuce, grapes, carrot %26amp; celery ';strings';, sunflower seeds





Melon Salad - lettuce, proscuitto, melon, bell peppers, and onions.
