Ingredients

For the salad

40 frozen mini wontons (chicken, veggie, shrimp, or beef all work!)
1 cup shelled edamame
5 cups shredded cabbage (green cabbage or a mix of red and green cabbage)
1 cup shredded carrots
½ cup diced green onion
1 red bell pepper, diced
½ cup minced cilantro
Optional: to make this a heartier main dish, feel free to add grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, or cooked shrimp for additional protein.

For the sesame dressing:

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Sriracha

Instructions

Start by cooking the mini frozen wontons according to package directions by either pan-frying or air-frying them to ensure they get a nice golden brown crunch and are heated through in the center. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes after cooking.
While the wontons are cooking, add all of the dressing ingredients to a small jar and mix until combined.
In a large bowl, add the edamame, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, diced green onion, bell pepper, and cilantro. Add the wontons and mix until combined.
Add your preferred amount of dressing and toss well. We prefer to dress the individual portions of salad with dressing so the leftovers don't get soggy.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. If you plan to save leftovers, add dressing to individual portions instead of the entire salad.
This recipe is dairy-free. Most wontons are not gluten-free, but if you find a gluten-free wonton brand, you can swap for those and use tamari instead of soy sauce. For a vegan or vegetarian option, use vegetable wontons.
