This hearty salad combines protein-rich chickpeas and edamame with crunchy vegetables and an umami-rich miso dressing. The beauty lies in its simplicity: shredded cabbage and carrots provide crunch, green onions add zip, and optional roasted nuts bring extra texture and protein.<\/p>\n

Time-saving tip: <\/strong>I love using a bag of pre-shredded cabbage and carrots as a cheat code to make this extra quick. It makes this recipe come together in less than 10 minutes!<\/p>\n
