99% of the time I just toss whatever veggies I want, might sprinkle with some nuts, or sunflower seeds, and add balsamic and olive oil. If feeling all fancy I might make a salad dressing. But sometimes I try a recipe (often just do the dressing if want a shortcut).
Here's a few...
I got this Bon Appetit recipe off the old CL boards, it was super popular when it was posted. I do cut back on the oil and I think the sugar too. I sometimes add a bit of dijon,
APPLE, DRIED CHERRY, AND WALNUT SALAD WITH MAPLE DRESSING
Maple Dressing
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons Champagne vinegar or other white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar (can cut back)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Salad
1 5-ounce bag mixed baby greens (about 10 cups lightly packed)
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into matchstick-size strips (don’t have to peel, can just dice)
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
For dressing:
Whisk mayonnaise, maple syrup, vinegar, and sugar in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil until mixture thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before using.)
For salad:
Toss greens, apples, cherries, and 1/4 cup walnuts in large bowl to combine. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Divide salad equally among plates. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts and serve.
Makes 6 servings.

I've made this BudgetBytes quite a few times the last few months. Often subbing spinach etc. And I've made the dressing on its own too.
