Chopsticks Or A Fork?

I got confused tonight about the appropriate utensil(s) for eating salad. (I haven’t really been eating western-style salads over here in Japan, so this hasn’t come up before.) I automatically grabbed some chopsticks, but after a few bites I thought to myself, “This just isn’t right, is it?” So I got a fork, which I’ve always used to eat salad. But it didn’t feel quite right either. I went back to the chopsticks, but now I have no idea which feels more natural in this situation.
