Fennel/apple/ spinach/Snap Peas/pistachios with lemon mint vinaigrette.
Golden beets/green peas/blanched kale/pomegranate kernels/sesame seeds with a lime-ginger vinaigrette
Finely shredded cabbage/green onion or shallot/cucumber/jalapeno/pickled whatever/dill. This one is technically a slaw and you can dress it with a sugar+mayo+cider vinegar+lemon juice if you want it more like coleslaw to serve with meats, or you can just do mostly pickle juice with a bit of sugar and lemon juice to make a lighter vinegar-slaw.
Cesar salad is delicious if you make the dressing yourself, it's easy but you need a mortar and pestle or blender. I also LOVE tabbouleh but I'm a slut for parsley.
That said, I'm a huge proponent of thrown together salads. My rule of thumb is 2-3 crunchy veggies (or fruits), at least one leafy green, 1-2 'enhancers' e.g. nuts, less crunchy fruits like berries, pickled stuff, seeds or grains, herbs, meats, fuckin' whatever you want.
Dressing is harder to say. It's so easy to make, and store bought dressing always tastes weird as fuck. I think that would need to be a seperate thread.

Fuck, sorry for the long answer.
