Many of you have been requesting Chinese, Asian, and Mandarin salads. This recipe from Forks over Knives checks those boxes and looks incredible. So we’re testing it out today! The base of the salad is made from purple cabbage, kale, carrots, and bell peppers. All the veg is shredded or cut into strips, so the texture of this salad is “slaw-adjacent.” Sweetness in this salad comes from mandarin oranges (or clementines as an alternate). The dressing is simple, flavor-packed, and oil-free. Just orange juice, tahini, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha. The portion here is MASSIVE — it fed me for 4 meals! The best part of this salad — much like other cabbage-based salads — is that it gets BETTER with age. I enjoyed this over the span of 3 days and the flavor and texture kept getting better. Hope you enjoy!

So many requests for this one! Hope you enjoy this one when you try it 🥗🍊
Great idea to substitute the chili paste for sriracha and sugar for honey. I had this today and loved it!!👍🏾 Keep these ideas coming!
I will refer to it as "adult kale" for the rest of my life!
Fantastic demo💜
Honey in a "VEGAN" salad 🤔
Loving the tips
Looks good but needs seasoned tofu.🥗❤
Please try to be mindful of sodium content since lower sodium soy sauce still has about 570milligrams- more than 1/3 the American Heart Association’s RDA. Not sure if you inadvertently added more with the tahini but Sriracha certainly has a lot too.
Great! Now put some slices of bias cut grilled chicken breast into it and you’ve got a balanced salad.
Made this tonight. 5 star salad! Thank you, my kids ❤️d it!
Nice
Just made this salad a few days ago and it was a huge hit! My picky husband who is really not a salad person mentioned we should make this again. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Thanks 🤩 looks delicious
Beautiful and so healthy!
Massaging the kale makes all the difference! Can't wait to try this.
I love the look of this salad, but I really need to get a set of those "salad hands"! Also never thought about massaging the kale before…will try this as tough texture has been the number one reason I've avoided kale in the past. Thanks for all the great tips!
I would have added toasted sesame oil I the dressing.
Hmm.. first time here, and I'll subscribe right away. I like your way of presentation, so relaxed and still efficient. Looking forward to try this salad today.
Made this yesterday. Soooo good. I cheated and bought a container of Kale Crunch salad. It already had the red cabbage and carrots. I just added the rest. It was so good. I may have put in a bit to much ginger in the dressing but otherwise dam delish. Thank you Geoffrey. Oh and I also chopped up all my veg like you. Put them in containers so I’m ready to go!!
One of my favorites. I make as a chopped salad. I add peanut butter powder to dressing.
I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Do you eat all your big salads right away? I like to make a big salad I can eat over a few days. Like Asian coleslaw, Greek or chilli lime chunky salad. Which of your can be kept for a few days?
I love kale salads! I think the 'massaging' is unnecessary if you simply chop it very fine, which is my preference for several reasons.
I really love your channel ❤❤❤
I want you to know this salad is Heavenly. I didn't think it would be so good, because Kale is tough! But I ate it…ALLL Boo!
Calorie breakdown please
Excellent!
I'm new to the WOE and I have always loved Panera's SpicyThai Chicken Salad. I would love to see a vegan version of that – specifically that dressing. Thanks. Your videos are so much fun!
Looks delicious!
That looks so yummy! 🙂
I love salads with a blend of fruit and veggies in them. Like mango avocado or blueberries and almonds. I’d like to see you make something like that.
I've watched so many of your videos but this is my first comment. First of all, you are delightful. Secondly, thank you! I've learned so much from watching you–who knew food that's so good for you can also be delicious?!
Why am I just discovering you now?
Wow this looks delicious and so tasty 🤤 Major cravings 💘💘
I’m so inspired. Ordered the book and plan to read and prep this weekend. Thanks so much. Please keep the salad ideas coming as well as dressing options. 🥗
Yum!! Looks so look good. I have to make this!! Thank you. Where did you find the salad hands ✋
These videos are giving me great ideas for adding more veggies to my diet. I don't plan on becoming vegan but I do think most of what I eat should be vegetables and I'm trying to make that happen. Thank you, can't wait to see what else you come up with!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was amazing and yes I will have enough for three more days LOL
Oh yum!
Would love to see a healthy fruit salad
Looks yummy and easy
Looks so amazing! The colors are so inviting!😋👍
