🌱Soy🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for crispy tofu or edamame and keep the rest of the salad elements. To avoid tree nuts, replace the cashews with toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds; gluten-free diners should also use a wheat-free sesame dressing and chili sauce.
What to serve with it
Serve with a simple miso or ginger soup and extra citrus wedges to echo the bright sesame-mandarin notes. A side of steamed rice or chilled noodles works well if you want to make it more filling without overpowering the salad.
