ASIAN CHOPPED CHICKEN SALAD WITH SPICY CANDIED NUTS, made with the Fresh Express Asian Chopped Kit! I love how convenient the Fresh Express salad blends and kits are. They’re perfect to use as the base for my salad creations. They cut down on all the chopping and give me more time to make extra fun toppings—like these spicy candied nuts that take this salad to the next level (they are addictive in the best possible way, you have been warned). I also added mandarins, edamame, and rotisserie chicken to bulk it up and make it a big salad, even a meal on its own. The best part about this particular chopped kit is that the base is cabbage, so the salad gets better and better as the days go by, making it perfect for meal prep too!
