Tasty Asian Salad
Another Sunday, another day of meal prep!
We were looking for something that was full of flavor, but not too heavy.
This Tasty Asian Salad fit the bill for a sunny Seattle week!
We have to give major props to Just Jessie B, where we found the original recipe, before making a few modifications to fit our food preferences.

Taste report
This meal is full of flavor, and great for a hot day. We’ve been eating it cold out of the fridge, and the crispy lettuce makes is feel so fresh.
If you like the coconut amino flavor, I would bet that you’ll like this as well.
