Huffington Post consults 'The Flavor Bible', a mammoth, detailed guide to ingredient pairing.
To perfect your salad game, start with a first-column ingredient in the chart. This should be the salad mix-in that you're unwilling to sacrifice. Some may not consider a salad a salad without a little feta sprinkled in; others see no purpose to eating lettuce without avocado. Then, select the items that appear to the right of this food. Every ingredient in each row is vetted to taste delicious when mixed together.
The Flavor Bible lists a variety of ingredient combinations, but this chart is narrowed down to what tends to be available at most standard salad spots, so you can enjoy a satisfying salad without ordering additional toppings that'll cost more than what's included.
Salad dressing recommendation included too.
