Buffet salad ideas

Does anyone have any great ideas for salads I can serve as part of a buffet please? Preferably Ottolenghi-esque but piss-easy?!

This works well as a warm salad btw in case anyone else is looking!

A friend did this recently and it was lovely. She spiralised the cucumber but you don't have to.

Can't find the link, but roasted carrot, onion and sweet potato (cubes), with lentils, fresh rocket and feta. Tasty!

No recipes but sprinkling pomegranate seeds and chopped herbs on anything makes it look like it's from Ottolenghi IMO.

rocket, pear and parmigiana is fab drizzled with good olive oil (effort is minimal...slice pear and shave cheese).

watermelon and feta is fab

creamy pesto pasta with fresh peas and pine nuts (mix creme fraiche with pesto before stiring through)
