Cheeses

You can use goat cheese - unique taste, but something different

Toppings - chop, chop, chop...you can't go wrong here, add anything you like!

Granola
COLOR - grilled veggies, colorful peppers, carrots - crunch
Celery, leeks, green onion, onion - flavor
Frozen blueberries, berries, corn - flavor and texture
Flax seed
Chia seed
Wheat germ
Apples, oranges cut into small pieces - sweet and juicy

Protein

Any type of nut (that might be on *SALE*) macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans - crunch
Meat/protein - leftover from previous night
Shredded chicken, beef, deer, fish, duck, goose, whatever is in the freezer!

Dressings - get creative!

Peach vinegar
White strawberry vinegar
Freshly cracked pepper
Pesto (especially good with arugula)

Lettuce Varieties - be adventurous and try something new, you never know what will be your new favorite!

Arugula
