Try a chop salad (you American's are good at those eh?) or tabbouleh. Both very tasty, easy to make but do require lots of ingredients.
Chop salad - gem lettuce, iceberg lettuce, red onion, cucumber, feta cheese, blue cheese, capsicum, parsley/coriander/basil, tomatoes, vinegrette (4 parts oil, 1 part white wine/cider vinegar, salt and pepper, mustard - mix well). Chop all ingredients small and mix with dressing. You can leave out some ingredients if you like.
Tabbouleh - Use bulgar wheat or cous cous, cook in stock as per instructions. Essential ingredients are cucumber, mint and lemon juice. You can also add tomato and coriander (cilantro). Chop up all the ingredients quite small. Mix it all up with a glug of olive oil and season.
