Making My Favorite Takeout Salad At Home

One of my goals this year is to be more mindful of little expenditures, specifically around eating out. Those dollars add up so quickly and just like I tell my teens, we have food at home. 😉 In all seriousness though, takeout has become a bad habit of mine, and I’m truly trying to lead by example this year. So I’ve been making my favorite takeout salad at home lately.

It’s so easy to make and so delicious! Thankfully, I’ve found a salad dressing that is pretty much identical to the one that comes on the chicken salad at one of my favorite local restaurants, Bon Banh Mi!

That Brianna’s Honey Ginger Vinaigrette is the key! And thanks to free same-day delivery with my Walmart+ membership, making this salad at home is as quick and easy as ordering takeout!

It takes 15 minutes to make this salad! All you need is:

  • Green Leaf Lettuce – or try Napa Cabbage for even more crunch!  
  • Tomatoes  
  • Cucumber 
  • Avocado 
  • Cashews  
  • Chicken – I like to season it with ginger, garlic, red pepper, salt & pepper. And did you know you can cook raw chicken in your air fryer?! It only takes about 15 minutes or so at 380 degrees.  It’s so fast!
  • Then I add Brianna’s Organic Honey Ginger Vinaigrette!  
  • A squeeze of fresh lime
  • & ALLLLLLL of the cilantro!!!  

The sweet, salty, touch of spice and crunch makes this salad a winner in my book! And making it at home is so much more affordable!

Plus, I love that with my Walmart+ membership and free same-day delivery, I can get all the ingredients I need to make this salad at home just as conveniently as ordering takeout!

Do you like to try recreating your favorite takeout meals at home? Is there anything you’re hoping to be more mindful of this year?
