For making this into a working lunch:
Layer the salad in a lunch box, and chill in the fridge until lunchtime. Pour the dressing into a separate container. Just before eating, pour over the dressing, gently toss to coat the salad leaves and the salad is ready. Enjoy!
I would also suggest substituting the chorizo sausage for a pack of chorizo sausage slices, that you could either chop up or shred and add those in.
