Looking for a delicious salad to add to your weekly lunch or dinner rotation? Don’t sit on this amazing Asian Chopped Cabbage Salad. It’s gluten-free, whole30, and dairy-free.
I am such a sucker for a good Asian Chopped Salad especially if I see seared tuna right on top. The flavors are so good and the salad itself has a great crunch factor throughout each bite. What I love most about this meal, besides all the flavors, is that it’s a great meal prep salad. Kale and cabbage don’t wilt and in fact, the longer it sits in the dressing the better. SO make it on a “Meal Prep Sunday” and enjoy it throughout the week.
I made this salad without any meat because I served it with my Salmon Terriyaki recipe. But I prepped some grilled chicken and enjoyed this the next day. So be sure to add any protein of choice if that’s your jam.
Here’s what you need:
- cabbage
- dino kale
- scallions
- cucumbers
- shredded carrots
- mandarins and the juice
- coconut aminos
- ground ginger
- ground turmeric
- peanut butter
- rice vinegar
- sliced almonds
- sesame seeds
- chopped avocados (add the day of so they don’t brown)
- olive oil
- sesame oil
