I'm not sure when you added it, but I'm really enjoying the "Loved this? Try that" section. Very helpful to re-use ingredients and meet everyone's preferences in my house.
Sadly had a similar experience with the fancy ramen I got from Whole Foods (I think the brand was China Bowl or something). Still yummy just ate around the very crunchy pieces :)
Made this tonight, yum! But realized that the ingredients call for kale but the instructions do not…did I just miss that? I guess I can assume it goes in along with the cabbage though.
Thanks for pointing this out, Virginia! We meant to remove it from the ingredient list (like we did in the instructions!) to cut down on an ingredient. It's been updated. But Jillian's OG rainbow chop had kale and it's delish in there — you were right to add it along with the other veggies. Hope you're enjoying the salad (and those extra nutrients you got from the kale lol)!
Omg another STAR salad!!!! I’ve been living on the lemony quinoa kale salad for the past month, making it weekly for work lunches. I love that I have another hearty one to add to the meal prep!
Okay y’all. This salad + the lemon-parm quinoa salad = 2 weeks of meal prepped salads. Can anybody else help me come up with 2 more good ones so that I can have enough for an entire month?
I would just decrease the soy, and up the honey to make sure the mix isn’t too liquidy. The purpose of the Mayo is really just to thicken the glaze and keep it from sliding off the salmon! Could also experiment with throwing a little Dijon in there??
Question about the red onion. The picture shows a big pile of it thinly sliced but I don't see it in the ingredient list, other than minced and in the dressing...?
Yes good eye!! It was moved into the dressing for efficiency - easier to throw it into the dressing for a quick pickle vs. separately pickling, but both are delicious!! If you want to do a separate quick pickle - slice up the onions first, soak them in some vinegar (rice wine is great here), and then proceed with the rest of the chopping!
Delicious and nutritious! To really maximize the rainbow prompt 🌈 I used red & orange peppers and purple cabbage and added pineapple and kale. I also added cooked quinoa because I had some leftover. Loved the dressing!
Loveeeee. Finally got around to making this with this week’s meal plan and it’s SO good. Even eating the raw veggies I’m afraid of lol because they’re masked by this delicious dressing.

I'm so glad!! It was actually a reader suggestion, it's just a few weeks old!!
I used millet/brown rice ramen to be GF and do not rec. doesn’t crunch quite like regular ramen, too hardcore!
ahhh rats, good tip, gf can be so tricky

SAME! Except mine wasn’t even GF. Just fancy. Thankfully I did add it to the whole salad. But the one batch nearly broke my teeth 😂 Otherwise amazing!
Agree! Always have the Costco millet/brown rice ramen on hand and do not recommend raw.
I just happened to make the mango peanut chicken salad last night and it is also phenomenal- WTC has inspired a major huge salad kick around here!
I loooooove that salad
My favorite salad ever!! I make it for the super bowl every year
Ramen is uncooked?
Yes!!!

Salads or can it be anything veg heavy?
Anything veg heavy! We like a healthy lunch and a comfy dinner over here lol
And for a comfy AND veg heavy pasta: https://whattocook.substack.com/p/hella-green-pasta
I love this sheetpan Greek chicken https://whattocook.substack.com/p/sheet-pan-greek-chicken-and-potatoes?s=w
If you live somewhere warm enough to grill this is a great meal prep

I second the mob wife and also the dilly chop from the cookbook!
I obsessed with the mob wife and Thai chicken chopped salads too!
I love this! On a quest to eat more healthy lunches this year.
Thank y’all so much! I really appreciate y’all taking time to respond. Gonna try these all out ☺️
Using the TJ’s Cruciferous Crunch bag was SO EASY!! Also the salmon was chef’s kiss…so good!!
If we want to make the salmon… ingredient swap for the mayo in the marinade? My toddler is allergic to eggs 🫠
I would just decrease the soy, and up the honey to make sure the mix isn’t too liquidy. The purpose of the Mayo is really just to thicken the glaze and keep it from sliding off the salmon! Could also experiment with throwing a little Dijon in there??
love dijon on salmon, will try all of this 🙂
So good. Made it with chickpeas to keep it vegetarian. Can’t wait to have this the rest of the week!
Are the red onions in the pictures the quick pickled ones from the salad dressing?
Yes!

This salad has transformed my lunch game. I’m loving the multi day salad. Keeps so well in my fridge. Added kale 💚
Great addition, kale is always a good plan!!!
Delicious and nutritious! To really maximize the rainbow prompt 🌈 I used red & orange peppers and purple cabbage and added pineapple and kale. I also added cooked quinoa because I had some leftover. Loved the dressing!
Oooooh pineapple! That would add such fun sweet/brightness!
Made this tonight. So good! Excited to eat it for lunches all week.
