I've made that salad a number of different ways using one of each:
1) Mixed greens, torn butter lettuce, or baby spinach
2) Thinly sliced red or green pears, asian apple pears, or jicama cut in sticks
3) Blue cheese crumbled, goat cheese, or thinly sliced scamorza cut in ribbons
4) Dried sweet cherries, dried tart cherries, or dried cranberries
5) Sweet or spicy glazed pecans, glazed walnuts
For a creamy dressing, I drizzle low calorie blue cheese (thinned a bit)
For a sweeter dressing, I mix 1Tbls. honey into 1/2 cup oil and vinegar dressing and drizzle that. I usually assemble individual salads with this recipe, and keep color in mind when making my combinations.
You've probably eaten your salad already, just thought I'd "toss" this out there for future inspiration!
