Getting bored of the same old salad isn't unusual, especially if you try to incorporate lots of leafy greens into your day via salad. Sure, it's healthy, but at what cost? All joking aside, curing the salad boredom can be as easy as mixing up an ingredient or two.
My husband, for example, likes to mix up his meats. He will add chopped ham, turkey or pepperoni to his salads. I'm not huge on meat but I like to play with cucumbers, avocado and other ingredients. My favorite game changer is probably cheese, though. You can always find a new-to-you cheese to try in your salad.
I also love to play with new dressings. My all-time favorite dressing is the Cheesecake Factory's homemade ranch, which just tastes better than everyone else's. I make some dressings on my own (I love Penzey's Green Goddess blend that's really easy to mix up) but I love trying spicy ones from different restaurants or brands, too. Speaking of Penzey's, a few new herbs and spices will also change everything! I love their sandwich sprinkle or Brady Street Cheese on a salad.
Trying salad served in different ways is also fun. A chopped salad can make all the difference, and some people love wedge salads the most. I love making taco salads minus the shells/tortilla strips, too, and a little chipotle or taco seasoning goes a long way for that tactic.
