Asian salad
This is the Fresh Express chopped salad kit, Asian style.
- Green and red cabbage
- Green leaf lettuce
- Carrots
- Green onions
The package also includes:
- Asian sesame vinaigrette
- Wonton strips
- Sliced almonds
I get three lunch-sized servings out of a single package.
I've used both Annie's Asian sesame dressing and the dressing in the package and both are good. I eventually figured out if I pour the pouch of dressing into a small mason jar it's way easier to keep and use for multiple salads.
I've added whatever meat I had handy:
Brooks chicken
Leftover Brooks barbecued chicken breast
Grilled chicken
Homemade grilled chicken breast tenders (spiedie marinated):
Pork
2.8 oz. sous vide pork that I normally use for stir-fry. I like it better with rice than bread.
Canned tuna
With a half a 5.0 oz. can of Wild Planet skipjack tuna. I used the other half to make spicy tuna salad for a future sandwich lunch. This was enough without adding rice or bread.
Canned salmon
This was good! I hadn't had canned salmon in decades. It's pretty similar to tuna and works well in this dish. I used half of a 5.0 oz. can.

This is still good, but I was always bothered by the arbitrary division of the package. I have solved the problem!
The greens (minus the dressing and wonton packet) is 7.6 oz. so dividing it into 3 servings of greens makes 2.5 oz.
I also divided the wontons and almonds.
Made a separate package for the wontons and almonds so I can add them after dressing the salad.
Also poured the dressing into a small mason jar, which makes it easy to swirl and pour.
