Thanks, all, I didn't know about the cucumber noodles.

I do love salads in the summer, and my local deli is highly accommodating about special requests. I can keep little cans of anchovies in olive oil in my desk to put over salads -- that's another great idea!

So many food outlets are stingy with the protein; partly for cost reasons, and partly because people act like the lettuce is the only healthy part of the salad. NOOOOOOOOO, people!

Spinach salad is a nice option too, but they never put enough bacon on it for ME
