A composed salad is a gourmet's trick: rather than tossing everything together with the dressing, it’s arranged on the plate in little bundles, and the dressing is served on the side. The colorful assortment of crisp veggies also makes it a great salad to pack for work or when you’re going to be on-the-go. It will hold up well assembled in portable containers—just remember to pack the dressing in a separately. Turn it into a meal by adding cooked large cocktail shrimp. You can find cooked cocktail shrimp at the fish counter of most markets. Strips of grilled chicken would be a tasty add-on as well.
