Kitchen Sink Salad

Occasionally, I get a serious craving for salad. A BIG salad. You know, "It's like a salad, only bigger, with lots of stuff in it?"

There is no specific recipe. It changes depending on what is in my pantry/fridge at the time. But, the goal is to put as many ingredients, flavors, and colors in there as possible; with the proportion of lettuce to everything else at about 1:1. And thus, it becomes the [everything but the] "kitchen sink salad". 

For this one, I had: 1) extremely gorgeous, extremely fresh local lettuce; 2) cherry tomatoes; 3) a yellow bell pepper; 4) green onions; 5) three small beets—boiled, not pickled; 6) blue cheese; 7) a few pearl onions, pickled in balsamic vinegar; 8) sea salt; 9) olive oil; 10) balsamic vinegar.

It served two; and it lasted about five minutes.
