Tips and Warnings

  • Green or purple cabbage can be used in this salad.
  • For the quinoa, make the quinoa ahead of time or buy pre-cooked quinoa.
  • Feel free to shell fresh edamame. To cut down on time, shelled edamame can usually be found in the grocery store’s frozen section. Rinse with cold water and let them thaw before adding them to the salad.
  • Thai Chili & Lime Cashews can be found at Trader Joe’s, but any plain or flavored cashew or nut can be used.
  • Any mixture or type of vinegar can be used in place of rice vinegar.
