A composed salad is a gourmet's trick: rather than tossing everything together with the dressing, it’s arranged on the plate, and the dressing is drizzled on.

Ingredients

Uncooked sugar snap peas

2 cup(s)

Frozen green peas

2 cup(s), or fresh peas

Cooked wax beans

2 cup(s), or fresh wax beans, trimmed (fresh preferred)

Romaine lettuce

1 small head(s), medium-size, separated into leaves

Cherry tomatoes

12 medium, halved

Yellow bell pepper

1 medium, cored, seeded and diced

Cucumber

1 medium, peeled, seeded, and diced

Golden seedless raisins

¼ tbsp(s)

Plain fat free yogurt

½ cup(s)

Fat free mayonnaise

2 tbsp(s)

Curry powder

1 tsp(s)

Fresh lemon juice

1 cup(s)

Honey

1 tsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s)

Garlic

1 clove(s), large, minced

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the sugar snap peas, peas, and beans; cook for 90 seconds. Drain in a colander set in the sink; rinse with cold water.
  2. Arrange the Romaine leaves among four plates. Divide the sugar snap peas, peas, wax beans, cherry tomato halves, bell pepper, cucumber, and raisins among the plates, arranging the ingredients in small clumps or a decorative pattern.
  3. Whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, lemon juice, honey, salt and garlic together in a small bowl. Drizzle dressing over the salads or serve on the side. Serve at once. Yields 1/4 of ingredients per serving.

Notes

Tip: Want more? You can add cooked large cocktail shrimp to the composed salad before you add the dressing (could result in a change to Points values). You can find cooked cocktail shrimp at the fish counter of most markets.
