I was at a loss for this challenge as the only "dinner salad" I've known of is a "chef's salad" which is just a large side salad with a lot of meat, grated cheese, and hard-boiled egg on top; this submission echos that.

Chicken breast marinated with garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, pepper, and whiskey. Papaya salad in the middle goes as follows: in a large mortar and pestle, grind peanuts, thai chili, lime juice, shrimp paste, and palm sugar into a paste then add ripe papaya, peeled and seeded cucumber, sliced red onion, yard bean, grape tomato, peanuts, thai basil and coriander and pound/mix. Eggs are Thai "son-in-law" eggs which are fried hard-boiled eggs with a sauce (under the whole egg) of tamarind, palm sugar, fish sauce, chili and water. Oh, and the shredded carrot--intended to be mixed into the salad--reminded me of the shredded cheese on the above salad model.
