Instead of the same old combination of leafy greens, the new salad offers an extra bite, thanks to a tangy sesame ginger dressing. The Sesame Ginger Salad is a new Asian-inspired offering from The Habit. The salad itself consist of garden greens tossed with carrots, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, edamame, and wonton strips. Customers can then add their choice of [chargrilled chicken](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-avocado-salad) or sushi-grade ahi tuna, before topping their salad with the flavorful sesame ginger dressing and a drizzle of teriyaki sauce. Available for just a limited time, the new salad is a healthy, yet tasty option.
