A salad can be served as a tossed salad or a composed salad. In a tossed salad, the ingredients are placed in a bowl and mixed with a salad dressing. In a composed salad, various ingredients are arranged on a serving platter or plates with the salad dressing drizzled on top or served on the side. What Is Smoked Tofu? Baked smoked tofu is a variety of tofu with a savory smoked flavor and a firm, toothsome texture. It's ready to eat right out of the package. If you can't find smoked tofu, any seasoned baked tofu will do the trick.
