Salad tips? Anyone a good cook?

So, when I was in Brisbane last week we had lunch at this pub. I got the lunch special, Steak, chips and salad. If you knew me personally, you'd know that I dislike salad, except on my Subway. But this salad was INCREDIBLE. If I remember correctly it included:

Red Onion.
Shredded raw Carrot.
Lettuce.
Purple Lettuce... ? Never seen if before, but it tasted gooood.
And some little nut things, which weren't very good, but they were there haha.
AND here's the big one, I'm pretty sure it had vinegar on it. Which is pretty much what made the salad taste as good as it did.

Now, I just tried to re-create it. Obviously it was an epic fail, I'm no professional chef. But does anyone have any idea what type of everything they used in their salad? Especially the vinegar and lettuce.

Hmm?
