How do you make a salad that is
a. Voluminous (so you can get a large serving of veg)
b. Simple/quick
c. Fairly low cal
d. Delicious
I have been doing some combination of kale/spinach, carrots, zucchini, apple, nuts, and dried cranberries either with some salt and lemon juice or whisking together some olive oil/soy sauce/lemon juice/honey. It isn't bad but often underwhelming. Also is there a trick to tossing everything together without everything except the greens going straight to the bottom?

It seems that you are adding enough ingredients to your salad already. Red onions might be a good addition and maybe some cheese. Cheese really helps a lot flavor-wise. It seems like you're going really light on the dressing which is fine but add some mustard in there too for some body. In order to toss a salad correctly, you should really dress the side of the bowl you're using, and with tongs or two large spoons/forks, gently grab and twist the salad. But yeah, ultimately, smaller items just drop to the bottom due to gravity. You could always just flip the salad onto a large plate from the bowl though to reverse it if that does happen.

I also like using canned beans (chickpea, black, pinto, kidney) on my salade. Artichoke bruschetta is delish too.
