SOS SALAD

I'm signed up to make a non-vegan salad (though vegan's okay too) for Friday, and I want to make something absolutely awesome, something that isn't your typical salad but makes you want to convert to salad-dom from here on out anyway. Any recommendations? recipes? links? sources of inspiration? All would be most welcome.

n.b. am intrigued by [personal profile] amalnahurriyeh's Green Salad with Pistachio-crusted Goat Cheese Balls & Onion Vinaigrette, but would like some backup options just in case. (I like doing the 'Cook's Assistant' chore at the Co-op where I live--it consists of making a salad & (sometimes) making a desert; we generally serve 30+ people every dinner. I've got a rep for unusual-but-delicious salads, mostly garnered trying out recipes from the New York Times article 101 Simple Salads for the Season. Unfortunately, it is no longer summer, which makes certain ingredients harder to come by.)

For your purposes, does salad have to be something that includes lettuce? If not, I like this lentil salad if you're looking for something hearty and this quinoa salad for something a bit more bright.
