I realize that by putting an equal mass of non-salad ingredients atop a mound of lettuce, it pretty much negates the health benefits of eating a salad in the first place, what with all the added fat and calories and wonderful sugar-encrusted things.  But honestly, (a) I don't give a crap, and (b) the salad still contains vegetables, which I'm always told I need to eat more of.  So even if my vegetables are covered in sugar, I'm still eating vegetables.
