This colourful and crunchy salad is perfect to take as a lunch or for a relaxing dinner after a busy day. This recipe has been adapted from another amazing recipe by the Whitewater Cooks.
The original bowl is prepared with fried tofu cubes, but I decided to replace them with roasted edamame to make it even simpler. This salad is so quick to prepare. You can cook your rice, grate all your veggies and mix your dressing ahead of time. Then, you keep all the ingredients in separate containers in the fridge. When you are in need of a quick lunch, you will have everything on hand to assemble an large glory bowl in just a minute or two. This recipe will definitely become a staple in our home!
