What is "composed salad"?

A composed salad is a type of salad that is arranged in a deliberate and artistic manner, with each component placed carefully on the plate to create a visually appealing and balanced dish. Composed salads may include a variety of ingredients such as greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, cheeses, and proteins such as chicken or fish. Each ingredient is often prepared separately and then arranged on the plate in a way that highlights its unique color, texture, and flavor. Composed salads may be dressed with a vinaigrette or other type of dressing, which adds to their overall flavor and enhances the individual flavors of each ingredient. Composed salads are often served as a main course or as a starter.
