a better question might be "what aren't good cheeses for salads?"

blue cheese, cheddar, etc.... are good.

About the only things that I can think of that might NOT be good cheeses for salads would be ripe, gooey cheeses like brie or maybe especially stinky cheeses like limburger or Epoisses de Bourgogne.

I like to be able to vary the salad dressing. I like cheese. I like purple cabbage, carrots, radishes, etc.... I also like nuts and/or seeds (sunflower seeds, pecans, etc...). I like a chopped hard boiled egg on a salad too. Cauliflower, bell peppers, broccoli, and cucumbers are also good on a salad. Sometimes meat is good on a salad, tuna, bacon bits (real), chopped ham, etc....

Whole Foods has a pretty great salad bar where you can build your own salad. They have things like roasted corn, roasted/cooked garlic.
