The salad was simple to throw together and didn’t require a lot of effort to prepare. Ryan was also a big fan!
We ended up having a little leftover and I actually liked it even more when I dug into it at dinnertime last night since the flavors had some time to develop. I think this salad would make a fabulous side dish for a summertime barbeque!

Description
I wanted something light but nutritious and ended up combining lots of different flavors and textures to create a veggie-packed Asian crunch salad. This salad would make a fabulous side dish for a summertime barbeque!
Ingredients
- 1 (5.3 ounce) container plan nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light Asian dressing
- 1 12-ounce bag broccoli slaw
- 2 oranges, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Whisk Greek yogurt and Asian (or ginger) dressing of your choice together until blended
- Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl and pour salad dressing on top
- Toss until everything is coated in the dressing
- Garnish with additional almonds and green onions if desired
Enjoy!

Hey Julie! Long time reader, first time commenter (haha). Wasn’t sure where else to write this… I was wondering if you saw the article in the Chicago Trib about Ocala being one of the worst places for single people. Obviously I know you’re happily married, but I don’t know anyone else in any of those cities and I’m curious what you think! http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-04-04/classified/ct-home-worst-cities-singles-20140404_1_singles-household-income-cities/2. Anyway, love your blog! You’re so cute.
Julie says
Totally agree with it!! It already feels like there aren’t a lot of young people here, and most people we know that are around our age or in their early 20s are married with kids already!

Amber @ Busy, Bold, Blessed says
Yum! I have a great Asian style lemon ginger chicken recipe that I’m definitely going to top this salad with!
Lauren @ Focused To Be Fit says
This screams SUMMER to me!
Jackie says
This looks fabulous!
Sarah @ Sarah Sincerely says
That sounds absolutely delicious! And it is so versatile…in a wrap, over a bed of lettuce, on a bun… I make an Asian Noodle recipe that I love! It sounds similar…linguine noodles, celery, green onions, diced chicken, stirred in with Asian dressing. Mmm! Definitely a fan of that flavor combo!
Jenna Ford says
I caught up on your blog before leaving work today and stopped to get everything at the store to make this salad for dinner. It is delicious and such a great mix of flavors. I couldn’t find Asian dressing so I went the greek route and used Greek dressing and also added some feta cheese & kalamata olives. This was my first time having broccoli slaw. Thanks for sharing and inspiring my dinner.
Julie says
So happy to hear this!
