5 from 1 vote

With a prep time of 15 minutes, this savory salad is a no-brainer!

When the temperature starts to rise and the days get longer, it’s time to swap wintery soups and stews for some cooler fare. Our Asian Salad with Crispy Chicken does the trick! This Asian-inspired recipe takes less than 15 minutes to prepare, has only 173 calories per serving, and is sure to satisfy. We used savoy cabbage, or curly cabbage, which is used in many Asian dishes and salads. Savory cabbage has a milder taste than traditional green cabbage.

For a low-cal dessert, we recommend Skinny Mini Strawberries in Balsamic-Yogurt Sauce, just 51 calories for each mini dessert.
