Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  • 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.
