Ingredients
  

Dressing

  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 3 cloves garlic-grated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 6 cups baby kale
  • 2 large carrots-sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 green onion
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • leftover cooked salmon

Instructions
 

  • Add all dressing ingredients to a pint mason jar and shake. Taste dressing and adjust seasoning to your desired taste. Set aside.
  • Defrost edamame by leaving on counter or in the microwave. Set aside to cool. Tear kale into bite size pieces. Slice up bell pepper into strips. Cut green onion and cilantro into slices. Flake leftover salmon.
  • Add kale to a salad bowl and top with edamame, carrots, bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, salmon and cashews. Top with salad dressing or serve on the side.

Notes

I like to dip my salad into my dressing so I serve me dressing on the side.  I like to add my salad ingredients in piles on top of the kale.
