Take inspiration from nature when building a healthy vegetarian salad, and fill it with the best the farmer's market has to offer! Greens such as watercress, 
arugula or frissee form a textured base for gourmet salads and a nice change from the usual iceberg or romaine blends. I like to use different kinds of greens in my salads - a bit of chopped endive, a handful of spinach and fresh torn butter lettuce to mix up the colors, nutrients and textures. Make your gourmet salad unexpected and colorful with blueberries, pinenuts, candied pecans, fennel, edamame, or, if you're not vegan, an artisan cheese.

And for the final touch, of course, you need a gourmet homemade salad dressing.
