M&S Edamame Soya Bean Salad

[GlamUp]

Could someone kindly check the syn value for the M&S Edamame Soya Bean Salad (150g)? It comes with a chilli and coriander dressing. Had this yesterday for lunch, as I didn't have time to create a packed lunch salad, it was lovely, but I'm now worried that it is a lot more than the 3 syns I estimated for the dressing - as I think everything else is 'free'.

Its not listed so you would need to post the nutritional info along with the main ingredients

You need access to the syn calculator to calculate it as it has a free food allowance. If youre a member then you can use the calculator, just choose the top ingredient as the Free Food allowance (broad beans) then enter the rest of the values (total carb, total fat, protein, calories, portion size) and it'll do it for you.

If youre not a member you cant calculate it without the calculator as it has free food as the top ingredient.
(You can calculate things *without* without a free food allowance though, as just 1 syn per 20 calories)

Yes, so glad I bought it - especially as they are on offer (2 for £3). I had one today too, with some turkey breast chunks
