Default Re: Eating salad every day

I've had trouble eating my daily salads without putting lots and lots
of store brought dressing on it; especially blue cheese dressing. I
can't stand a normal salad with just a homemade simple vinagrette
dressing for more than two days. Until now. I've started to make my
salads a tad different, and now find that I enjoy eating them every
day.
What I've done is to use roughly equal amounts of veggies in the
salad, and changed the vinagrette slightly.
example:
One handful of romaine lettuce, one handful of sliced cabbage, one
handful of thinly sliced carrots, one handful of sliced scallions, one
and a half handfuls of sliced celery, one handful of sweet red
peppers. In a stainless steel or whatever bowl. Then add: freshly
ground black pepper, a few shakes of lemon pepper, a wee bit of salt
(to taste), a small amount of honey(to taste; I don't like it too
sweet), olive oil, and some apple cider vinegar; about equal to the
amount of olive oil(I know it's supposed to be in a 3:1 ratio, but
this is how I like it). Toss the salad. It's really great, at least
according to my tastes. I really like the cabbage in there.
