My brother is in the hospital so I have to pack my lunch and dinner to take with me because who knows what the hospital cafeteria serves. A friend introduced me to a delicious Asian Chicken Salad when I was still eating meat and I just took out the chicken and the fried wontons, and added edamame and beets. It still tastes great. I had that salad with leftover pesto and that was my lunch and dinner. Just as delicious as I remembered it, but healthier!

1 cup cilantro, chopped
