How do you eat salads?

I'm venturing into the wonderful world of salads.  How do you guys eat yours?  Do you mix it all up and eat it together?  Or do you pick the meat out of it first? 

i make sure that I get most of the protein from the salad.  I mix the protein with the veggies but always have most if not all of the protein and what I can't finish is the veggies.

  I measure everything out first, then mix it all together and eat.

I mix mine all together.

 I kind of measure out the meat by eye (since Im not usually at home MAKING them) and then try to eat at least that much along with the veggies. That way i know I am getting enough of the protein and can fill up on whatever else is in the salad.

I mix it up, but tend to go for the meat first. I also use spinach instead of lettuce for more nutrition.

when I was trying to maximize weight loss, it was meat first, then cheese, etc. and I made sure that my salads were as full as protein as possible. Now, it's all globbed together and I venture out in my add-ins. I've been on a chicken, strawberry, feta, walnut salad kick lately...yummo!! I also do one with chicken, almonds, edamame, mandarin oranges, and toasted asian sesame light dressing from Kraft.

Can I ask what else you did to maximize weight loss?
