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.
