Fresh and crunchy edamame, snap peas, cucumber and sesame seeds tossed in a rice vinegar and soy sauce dressing! The best part? Its super healthy and takes about ten minutes to make!
What I love about this edamame salad is that while it’s great served alongside a main dish like grilled meat or fish, it can also hold its own as a light lunch. I like to serve it with steamed rice and miso- honey salmon. It reminds me of a trip to my favorite sushi spot with out actually having to leave the house!
Pro Tip: Keep your freezer stocked with frozen shelled edamame! It’s so great to have on hand, not only for this salad but to make sushi bowls or a quick stir fry.
Why I love this Recipe→
It’s super healthy! Edamame is rich in plant based soy protein, fiber and antioxidants!
It takes less than ten minutes to make! Seriously, it’s super quick and easy. Just chop up the veggies and whisk together the dressing and you’re done.
It’s great for meal prep! This salad is one that gets better as it marinates. Store it in the fridge for up to three days.
