Teresa Tip:
This salad is perfect for easy lunches throughout the week.
Divide the lettuce, coleslaw mix, chicken, vegetables, edamame, and mandarin oranges among 6 meal-prep containers.
Pack the dressing and crispy wontons separately, then toss everything together just before eating to keep the salad crisp and fresh.
The prepped ingredients will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
