Equipment

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups shelled edamame (green soybeans)
6 cups shredded Napa (Chinese) cabbage
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
4 green onions, thinly sliced
3/4 cup Wasabi Vinaigrette
Chopped peanuts (optional)

Wasabi Vinaigrette

2/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons prepared wasabi paste
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, pressed

Instructions

If using frozen edamame, place in a strainer and rinse with cold water until completely thawed. Drain well and add to a large bowl. For fresh edamame, simply add to a large bowl.
Add cabbage, chicken and green onions to bowl with edamame.
Prepare Wasabi Vinaigrette Dressing and then pour 3/4 cup over salad bowl and toss until thoroughly combined.
Divide salad among 4 salad plates (or bowls), about 2 cups each. Top with chopped peanuts, if desired.

To make the wasabi vinaigrette

It's interesting to note that most of the WW Points in this Edamame Chicken Salad come from the vinaigrette, which is made with honey!

To lower the points, simply stir a little wasabi paste into your favorite WW friendly fat free Asian vinaigrette or substitute your favorite non-calorie sweetener for the honey in the dressing.
