This hearty salad has the soul of a stir-fry with flavours of garlic, soy, miso, ginger, and chilies. And it makes use of every part of the broccoli by including the flavourful stem. Edamame gives this fibre-rich salad a punch of protein. The best thing is that this slaw keeps well and gets richer in flavour as it’s stored in the fridge.

Packing perfection
Pack the slaw for your picnic in a sealed container, like a square glass container with a lid. Pack the cashews in a separate container and add to the salad just before serving. A small Mason jar works well here. Metal tiffin containers are also great for keeping various components separate.
