Great China salad question

So, it's been awhile since I've had lunch at Great China in Berkeley, and I am working to remember what greens are in the salad there. Because, of course, I'm looking to do a recreation. Any suggestions?

    I think they use pea shoots, carrot, and cabbage in the salad with the lunch plates and in the larger chicken salad. The salad is served with a sticky, sweet dressing.

      Robert's right about which salad. And I think the pea shoots are the dark green gap in my memory! Thank you all for the help.

      Do you mean the double skin? Pretty sure it's just carrots (not green, I know) and cucumber. Picture attached.

        I believe comedor's talking about the house salad that comes with the lunch specials.

          Just goes to show that I've never been there at lunch.
