Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • ½ head green cabbage finely shredded
  • ½ head purple cabbage finely shredded
  • 2 cups carrots matchstick-cut or shredded
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • ½ cup sliced green onion
  • 2 cups cooked edamame
  • 1–2 cups roasted cashews see notes
  • 2 cups crunchy chow mein noodles optional
  • chicken, shrimp, or any other protein your choice

For the Dressing

  • ¼ cup olive oil you can use any other oil as well
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil very important for flavor!
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • garlic powder a few shakes
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt or mayo optional, more or less to taste

Instructions
 

Making the Dressing

  • Shake the dressing ingredients up in a jar until smooth. Add the Greek yogurt or mayo (if using) and shake again until smooth.

Assembling the Salad

  • Toss all the salad ingredients together. Drizzle with dressing and serve!

Notes

You can easily omit the Greek yogurt or mayo to keep this a vegan/dairy free salad! For a creamy dairy-free alternative, you could try miso. To make this gluten free, leave out the chow mein noodles.
