The Hello Hanna:

• 1/4 c. Cooked soba noodles
• 1/4 c. Jerk jackfruit ~ I use a can of jackfruit which you can find at an oriental store. Seasoning ~ garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, pepper, a sprinkle of cane sugar.
• 1/4c. Mango salsa ~ mango, red onion, red pepper, cilantro
• 1 oz. Sliced purple cabbage
• Cilantro
• Kale ~ be sure to massage kale, coating it with a small bit of oil. Helps with texture and taste!
• Toss in a citrus vinaigrette of your choice!

The Tasty Carrot:

• 1/4 c. Cooked white rice
• 1/4 c. Pickled cucumbers ~ slice cucumbers, mix with rice vinegar, liquid aminos, crushed red pepper, little salt, tiny splash of cane sugar.
• 1/4 c. Edamame
• 1 oz. Shredded carrot
• Green onions ~ chopped
• Toasted sesame seeds
• Romaine lettuce
• Carrot ginger dressing or any Asian flavored dressing pairs will go great!
