For the Salad:
2 cups mixed greens
1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup edamame (cooked and shelled)
1/2 cup grilled chicken breast, sliced (or tofu for a veggie option)
1 tbsp sesame seeds
2 tbsp chopped almonds or cashews
Optional: sliced cucumber, bell peppers, green onions
For the Asian Dressing:
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp grated ginger
1 small garlic clove, minced
Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well.
In a large bowl, toss together greens, cabbage, carrots, edamame, chicken, nuts, and seeds.
Drizzle with dressing just before serving and toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately and enjoy fresh!
Swap chicken for boiled eggs, tofu, or shrimp to keep it high in protein.
Make the dressing in advance—it keeps for 5 days in the fridge.
Add quinoa or brown rice for extra heartiness.
