Low-Point Creamy Asian Cucumber Salad Bowl (WW Friendly)

Low-Point Creamy Asian Cucumber Salad Bowl (WW Friendly)

WW Points (Current System)

3 Points per bowl
(full salad jar — very filling portion)


Ingredients

Vegetables & Protein

  • 1 whole cucumber, thinly sliced — 0 points
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced — 0 points
  • 150 g baked tofu (extra-firm, oil-free baked if possible) — 2 points
  • ⅓ cup shelled edamame — 1 point
  • 1 small carrot, julienned — 0 points
  • 1 spring onion, sliced — 0 points
  • ¼ avocado, diced (reduced slightly for points control) — 0–1 point depending on plan

Creamy Sriracha Dressing

  • 1 tbsp light vegan cream cheese — 1 point
  • 1 tbsp light vegan mayo — 1 point
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha — 0 points
  • 1 tsp chili crisp oil — 1 point (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce — 0 points
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (reduced amount) — 0–1 point

OPTIONAL:

  • 1–2 tsp crushed nori flakes — 0 points

Why This Version Works

Most points usually come from:
❌ mayo
❌ oil
❌ avocado portions

We keep flavor by:

✔ spicy creamy dressing (same texture)
✔ tofu for protein + fullness
✔ cucumber volume = big portion for low points
✔ layered jar presentation unchanged

You still get that trendy Asian salad jar aesthetic.


Instructions

Step 1 — Layer the Jar

Add ingredients in this order:

  1. Cucumber slices (press lightly)
  2. Onion
  3. Tofu cubes
  4. Edamame
  5. Carrot
  6. Spring onion
  7. Avocado (top layer)

Keep dressing ingredients near the top if meal prepping.


Step 2 — Add Dressing

Mix dressing ingredients separately and spoon on top.

Sprinkle sesame seeds and nori flakes last.


Step 3 — Store

Seal tightly and refrigerate upright.
Keeps fresh up to 24 hours.


Step 4 — Eat

Flip jar upside down twice and shake for about 10 seconds.

Eat straight from the jar or pour into a bowl.


WW Points Breakdown

Pro Tips
