On the rare occasion that I eat a salad, it's usually something I can heat up. Wilt a bunch of spinach in EVOO, toss in some chopped tomatoes, mushrooms, and garlic. Pour onto plate. Top with Parmesan. Wilting the spinach turns a Bad Ass amount of it into something more manageable.

In summer, tomatoes, cheese, and some sweet fruit is a great snack. Balsamic and a little evoo on that. (Strawberries soaked in Balsamic are awesome.)

i dry roast sunflower seeds in my cast iron pan and throw them in sometimes. similarly you can toast flaked almonds and cashews, even brazil nuts in the same way.
raw oysters with avocados. cooked cockles and mussels. smoked chicken. cold bacon.
bresaola thinly sliced
parmesan cheese
raw beef
raw fish
