Review summary

Updated on Sep 2026
  • Flavor: The sesame dressing and crunchy toppings deliver a satisfying mix of textures and flavors that many customers enjoy. Some found the dressing a touch too sweet; a squeeze of citrus or a little less dressing can balance it out.
  • Ease of prep: It couldn't be simpler — just toss and serve, making it a perfect quick lunch or easy side dish.
  • Suggestions: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tuna to turn this into a filling meal; a few customers also stirred in mandarin oranges or fresh fruit for extra brightness. If you love a well-dressed salad, use all the dressing right away — the hearty greens absorb it quickly.
  • Leftovers: Eat this salad on the day you open it for the best crunch and freshness, as the greens can wilt quickly once dressed.

We enjoyed the salad. The combination of two types of cabbages and kale was far above your usual iceberg lettuce dominated salads. The sesame crunch bits and the cashews complemented the sweet asian dressing perfectly. We loved it.

Kale could be chopped smaller. Other veggies were kind of chunky. Dressing was good. Topping had more crunchy stuff than cashews.

I'm not always the biggest fan of fresh kale, but it was delicious mixed with the cabbage and sesame dressing.

I love this salad. The dressing is always a bit too sweet for my taste so I add some more rice vinegar & sesame or olive oil.

Great. The crunchiness makes the salad last a few days without wilting. The dressing was perfect. Would go well with fish because it's Asian. You might add a 'suggested dishes to go with this' comment to this listing.

Bag salads can be lack luster for sure. But not this one! Super crunchy, super flavorful! Will be adding this one each week that it's offered!

Love the salad, just not enough for 4 people. I had to use 2 bags as a SIDE salad.
