I do better salads for lunes but I have picky kids so my dinner salads are not polarizing at all. I do taco salad, chicken fajita salad, chicken Cesar using chicken nuggets/strips, and Italian chopped salad with added beans. These all pass the picky kid test.

BANANA PEPPERS.

Greek salad:
Romaine, tomato, red onion, olives, cucumber, feta, hummus, chicken, falafel with a Greek vinaigrette.

Chef salad:
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, turkey, salami, provolone, hard boiled eggs

Italian theme:
Arugula, tomato, roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella balls or shaved Parmesan, fresh basil, chicken, salmon with balsamic vinaigrette

I love Asian salads. I'd try all of the following:

Larb
Pomelo salad
Burmese tea leaf salad
Crying tiger salad
Tofu skin salad
Gado gado

May be stretching it a bit to call chaat salad, but there are more salad-y versions you could try, like chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions topped with the usual sweet & hot green chutneys and all the fried crunchy bits.

We love Italian chopped salad - iceberg and romaine, chopped fresh mozzarella, salami and prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, basil and homemade Italian vinegrette (oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, sugar, salt, lemon)

Sometimes add chicken breast and serve with garlic bread

I have three standard salads I make—any of them go on spinach and/or arugula:
