The list goes on to include any fresh veggies I have on hand. Sometimes I add grilled shrimp and other times grilled chicken for a bit of protein. I top the salad with fresh grated sharp cheddar and parmesan cheese. Any type of dressing is quite good. I have to add that the pickled beets do not enter my DH's salad bowl. He won't even try them.
