Robin reminded me of one that I kind of forgot about. Cook some broccoli and/or cauliflower for dinner one night, preferably in the microwave in summer, with enough for leftovers. Make a salad out of the leftover cooked/chilled florets. You could use any type of dressing, but I like it with 3-cheese ranch, some extra shredded cheese, bacon, other chopped veggies like bell pepper or onion, and maybe some chicken if I want some more protein. It's a nice change over the typical lettuce salad.

I also like what I'll call a bowl salad because it's a little messy to eat off a plate. Again lettuce-less, chopped tomato + whatever other veggies I have - usually mushrooms, cucumber, maybe zucchini, bell peppers. Chopped chicken, beef, and/or bacon for protein. Whatever dressing I use ends up blending with the tomato juice.
