I have an apple and walnuts on my salads.

One of my favourite salads is apple, walnuts, celery, and chopped chicken in a sour cream and chive dressing. I make enough for two meals (1/2 apple per day) and leave the walnuts out until I'm ready to eat it so they won't lose their crunch.
Another is feta cheese with black olives, cherry tomatoes and basil leaves, with olive oil.
Prawns with courgette slices, again with sour cream and chives. I cook this and eat it either warm or coldish next day.
Grated raw courgette and (cheddar) cheese with a few roasted peanuts for crunch.
Or pastryless quiche: tinned salmon with asparagus, with egg, cream, dill , and maybe a bit of cream cheese; or mushroom and chicken, or prawn and diced apple or prawn & avocado would work as filling too.
I used to have a crab with lime and caper recipe, which I can't find any more but think it would go with a nice mixed salad too.
And another (which I don't think I dare eat any more...) ham, sweet gherkin, iceberg lettuce and/or cucumber and boiled new potatoes, all chopped and mixed in with mayonnaise.
I'm another one who doesn't like cold straight from fridge stuff so meat & cheese get warmed slightly in the microwave but I'd draw the line at warm salad greens!
I'm going to be working through the suggestions for ideas too.
