We are in the middle of June here in Missouri and as soon as you step outside the heat will take your breath. When it is so hot outside, I always crave cold summer salads. This Asian Chopped Salad is so light and refreshing it is the perfect lunch or dinner on those hot summer days. Not only is it delicious, but it is Whole30, Paleo, gluten and dairy free.

The dressing adds so much flavor and pairs lovely with the chicken and oranges. The mixture of the cashew butter along with the toasted sesame seed oil, coconut aminos and dates gives it a savory and sweet taste. This dressing can also serve as a marinade on chicken, pork and even shrimp.

Feel free to add whatever veggies you would like to your salad, but I find that when I keep it simple, it tastes so much better. Eloise, my 3 year old isn’t a big fan of salads, so when I make this dish I will deconstruct it for here in a kid plate so it isn’t overwhelming. I will tear the chicken into bite size pieces with a little Asian dressing on the side for dipping, a side of orange, a slice of cheese and some kind of steamed veggie and. She LOVES the dressing so much that I caught her licking her plate. If you are needing to beat the heat this summer, try out this yummy salad that the whole family will love.

    LOVE this salad and dressing! While on my 2nd Whole30 my mom and I made the salad and it was a hit! My dad who will not do Whole30 loves this one too! The dressing is a piece of cake but delicious, and the combination of veggies and fruit makes for a refreshing meal.

👇🏼My 2 favorite healthy swaps for oil when baking, applesauce and Greek yogurt. Both options will save you a ton of calories and fat and give you the same results as oil. These swaps are for baked goods such as cakes, cupcakes, sweet breads, and muffins. 🍎APPLESAUCE SWAP: When substituting applesauce for oil in baked goods, the ratio is 1:1. Example: If the recipe calls for 1/4 cup of oil, use 1/4 cup of applesauce or 1/2 cup oil use 1/2 cup applesauce. It’s a equal swap. 🍎For every 1/2 cup of oil replaced with applesauce, you will save over 900 calories and 110 grams of fat. It will also make your cakes and baked goods super moist. ✨GREEK YOGURT SWAP: For everyone 1 cup of oil sub 3/4 cup Greek or plain yogurt. Example: If you are using 1/2 cup oil, use 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. For 1/2 cup of oil there is over 900 calories. For 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt there is only 38 calories. Greek yogurt adds more protein and cuts fat by 100% #bakingrecipes #bakingtips #bakingtipsandtricks #cookinghacks #cookinghealthy #cookinghack #hacks #tipsandtricks #healthyfood #healthyfoodie #bakedgoods #baking #bakingtime
