Problem: Article: If you feel like inventing your own salad, move on to the next step to begin the step-by-step instructions. If you're looking for something faster, here are a few well-tested ideas that can stand at the center of your meal:  Chef's salad: sliced ham, cheese, hard-boiled egg, cucumber, and tomato on a bed of lettuce. This can stand up to thicker, stronger-flavored dressings such as Caesar salad dressing, ranch, or Thousand Island.  Salad Nicoise: a French salad of potatoes, tomatoes, egg, olives, and fish (usually anchovies or tuna), among other ingredients. Southwest salad: Combine cooked corn and black beans with red peppers, spring onions, and plenty of avocado and/or grilled chicken. Season with cilantro and lime. You can start with lettuce or mixed greens, if you're prepared to amp it up with plenty of protein and starchy ingredients. Another approach is to use a bed of grains, especially something with plenty of texture like brown rice or quinoa. A bed of rice noodles works well for Asian salads. This isn't just for show; a variety of colours means a variety of vitamins. Strips of red, orange, or yellow bell pepper are a great choice. Also try shredded carrot; shredded beets (raw, pickled or cooked); or sliced tomatoes. You can even add edible flowers. Add intensity with roasted garlic, pitted olives, or diced hot peppers.  Use avocado for a creamy texture. Keep it tasty but more casual with chopped asparagus, any kind of onion, or flavorful mushrooms. These little nibbles make a salad much more interesting. There are all kinds of options:  Any nuts or seeds – walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. Breads or grains – croutons, tortilla chips, popcorn, cooked quinoa Any type of fresh or dried fruit, especially berries Snap peas, corn niblets, or other small veggies A salad requires protein to become an entreé. Choose just one or two of the following, chopped into bite-size pieces.  Cooked beans – chickpeas, lentils Cheese – Parmesan Swiss, or feta for more subtle flavor; cheddar or blue cheese for strong flavor Other vegetarian options – soft- or hard-boiled egg, tofu Meat – tuna, chicken breast, ham, grilled fish or steak, shrimp, squid Salad dressing can be purchased or made at home. Whichever you choose, drizzle over the salad and toss until thoroughly coated. If you made the salad in advance, wait until just before serving to add the dressing.  Combine one part Balsamic vinegar with three parts olive oil and add salt & pepper for a classic dressing. This is best on lettuce or tomato salads. You can easily add crushed garlic or any savory herb. Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice, garlic, oregano and hot sauce for a strong dressing, best on strong-flavored leaves such as arugula or radicchio. Mix freshly squeezed fruit juice, olive oil, salt and pepper for a fresh fruity dressing  Check out this article for more ideas.
Summary: Choose your approach. Start with a base ingredient. Add colourful veggies. Mix in veggies with strong flavours. Add extra texture. Add your protein. Toss with dressing. Finished.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The wicketkeeper is the centerpiece of the fielding team. Make sure you keep ahead with the over rate, especially when you are playing T20 cricket where time is more of an issue. T20 cricket is a variety in which each side only gets 1 innings of 20 overs. Matches typically last only about 3 hours. Use your anticipation, concentration, and catching technique to stop runs when the bowler unintentionally makes a wild or wide delivery. Work together to prevent as many runs as you can and get your team in the lead. Try to make the batter feel that even if the bowler delivers a poor throw, you will always be there to catch it. That way, they are more likely to swing for every delivery and make a mistake that lets you get them out. The slips are the fielders behind the batsman on the offside of the field who are there to catch any balls beyond your reach. Decide if you need 2 or 3 slips, then help position them far enough away that you have room to dive and move but close enough that they will catch balls you cannot reach. This will take some practice to get the hang of, but once you know what your limitations are you will be able to help the slip fielders get into the perfect alignment to provide the extra coverage you need. Don’t let anything get you down, not even a dropped catch. Fielders mostly take after the wicketkeeper's reactions, so it's very important to always keep up your energy levels and cheer the team on. This is especially important when your team is under pressure. As the center of the fielding team, you can influence everyone’s performance by staying positive and offering encouragement.

SUMMARY: Set the tempo for the fielding on your team. Work together with the bowler to prevent runs. Help align the slip fielders on your team. Encourage your teammates.
