have not experimented too much with this but i once had a memorable experience by mixing up white widow with goo (indica)...i can recreate it but usually have to do quite a bit of a single strain. for me the general effect was that everything that was going on happened in steps, for example if i moved my hand i would only see segments of the movement, it was pretty wild. the rest is beyond explaining.
for eating salads, i love to use stuff out of my garden...very fresh so it has an incredible flavor, usually i have about 4 different lettuce varieties, 2-3 tomato types, some leaves from other edible plants and some home made dressing. the rest are nuts, seeds and dried fruits. and if i have it, BACON. not bacon bits, but BACON.
