Think vegetarian deluxe salad. More than usual vegetables plus cheese,
hard boiled egg and even croutons. The cheese is always torn small
pieces of mild cheddar but some feta on top is also a bonus.

A "salad bar" gives you many more options than you might have at home
(as an example)

I've never added meat before (not saying it's a bad thing).
But then...I realized that many years ago I would sometimes add crumbled
bacon. I liked that meat in a salad.
Even kept a jar of Bac-Os around if I didn't have any real bacon to cook.

Anyway, imo all salads are good. I'm not about to argue about any
variations.
