TIP OF THE DAY: Composed Salad

A composed salad (salade composée in French) is not tossed. Rather, the dish is brought to the table with the ingredients arranged separately (and artistically) on individual serving plates, with a ramekin of dressing. The diner can take a forkful of whatever ingredients he or she wishes.

In this recipe from Cookie and Kate for Avocados From Mexico, the composed salad is prepared in a family-size bowl. It can be tossed at the table, or diners can pick and choose their ingredients.

12 INGREDIENTS TO ADD TO A COMPOSED SALAD

In addition to the lettuce(s) of choice, add:

  • Beans/peas/chickpeas
  • Capers
  • Cheese: diced or crumbled
  • Crunch: Chinese noodles, croutons, nuts/seeds, taco strips, water chestnuts
  • Hard-cooked eggs
  • Fish/Shellfish: anchovies, crab, shrimp, tuna, etc.
