This Chinese-inspired veggie-filled salad is ready in only 25 minutes and heavy on the crunch! Lettuce, carrots, snow peas, and water chestnuts are just a few of the fresh ingredients, all dressed with a quick and easy soy sauce, ginger and honey dressing.

This salad is also wonderful with roasted or grilled slices of pork tenderloin or flank steak.
