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 :)
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??
I didn’t really make the recipe but you just saved me on a night I really didn’t feel like cooking: getting over the flu, first day back at work, baby is cutting two canines, and toddler didn’t nap. I realized half my ingredients had gone bad, so I tossed together a bag of shredded cabbage, some shredded carrots, shredded chicken from the instapot, and a bottled ginger dressing. I found some old wonton strips in the back of the pantry and threw them in too. Everyone (except toddler who just ate wonton strips, whatever) housed it. My husband said he’d like it on the regular rotation. It felt so good to get some vegetables in my body after being sick. Plus nothing to clean up! Thank you!
Ok this was SO good. I’ve eaten like three servings because I kept going back to the giant bowl every time I walked through the kitchen. The dressing is brilliant and the encouragement to keep salting takes this over the top!
This salad was a balm to my soul in these dark days. Also, I had crunchy dried soybeans so threw them in instead of ramen (which I didn’t have) for crunch and fiber and protein.
Making this today for the week! Using the Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Crunch bag (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage) and adding tofu! Do we think I can add mango chunks like the peanut chop salad I love so much or will it be too different?

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

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!!!
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!
Using the TJ’s Cruciferous Crunch bag was SO EASY!! Also the salmon was chef’s kiss…so good!!
So good. Made it with chickpeas to keep it vegetarian. Can’t wait to have this the rest of the week!

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 ☺️
If we want to make the salmon… ingredient swap for the mayo in the marinade? My toddler is allergic to eggs 🫠

love dijon on salmon, will try all of this 🙂

That is exactly the goal - making something nutritious and as easy as possible when you need it most! Hope you're all on the mend soon! <3
We loved this salad! We subbed TJs mini mochi nuggets for the ramen to make it GF.
Ok this was SO good. I’ve eaten like three servings because I kept going back to the giant bowl every time I walked through the kitchen. The dressing is brilliant and the encouragement to keep salting takes this over the top!
This is definitely something you can feel good about eating 3 servings of!!! <3
This salad was a balm to my soul in these dark days. Also, I had crunchy dried soybeans so threw them in instead of ramen (which I didn’t have) for crunch and fiber and protein.
So glad this rainbow salad could bring a little light during these heavy days. Love your crunchy soybean swap!! I want to try that next time <3
Added in a little miso paste to the dressing and 🤤 all so tasty!
Great idea!!

I did this, too!!
Just tried it and I’m in love!!!!!
Are the red onions in the pictures the quick pickled ones from the salad dressing?
Yes!
