omnomnomI'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 byamalnahurriyeh'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.)

avocado
raw thinly-sliced red cabbage
sliced bell peppers
raw red onion
walnuts
basic olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing
It's a crunchy, sturdy salad which goes wonderfully with a strong-tasting protein source thrown on top -- chicken livers sauteed with lots of paprika is a favourite of mine, and for a vegan/vegetarian option I'm guessing that tofu with a strong-tasting marinade could be good.
