You really have to check out the BYCer that I believe is the 'salad bar' master, Arianna in NC. What an inspiration!

I put in a salad bar of scrap 2"X8"'s with heavy duty plastic netting stapled on top, threw some loose leaf lettuce seeds and sifted a little soil over the top of the seeds. I plan to just add a little more seed once it gets going to keep it green. The weeds are already going great, lol, but the ladies walk all over the green netting with almost no sag at all.
Eventually I'd like to make a frame for the top that can be lifted to plant more effectively, but for now, the lettuce is starting to come thru with just the little bit of soil I threw over the seeds.
Good luck!
