I try to eat a salad every single day for lunch. It's a big salad, too. Like Jaime, I've found that it's one of the things that keeps me stable - and I'm D-predominant A.
I think there's 2 things that have helped me be able to eat them again. First is that I kept eating them - at first, they gave me D, but that would happen to just about anyone who suddenly started eating raw vegetables, even if they don't have IBS - so I decided to give my gut a week or so, and if it didn't get better, I'd give it up. Well, it got better. 
Second is what I put on the salad. I start with lots of lettuce, of course, but I end up putting some SF or neutral things on the salad, too. Hard-boiled eggs minus the yolks, lots of mushrooms, avocado, cooked beets - to go along with the cucumber, apple, etc - I eat some bread with it, too, but I think the SF on the salad helps as well.
I also don't use commercial salad dressings - because I'm cheap  , but ingredients in those can be triggering for lots of folks. I make my own fat-free HFCS-free dressing.
