Edamame Salad
Report
This simple edamame salad is light and refreshing. With cucumber, red cabbage, carrot, and a bright ume vinegar dressing, it’s the perfect side dish or snacky salad. Fresh cilantro adds a burst of flavor, and you can easily mix in your favorite extras to make it your own.

Instructions
- First, make the dressing (both versions of the ume dressing work for this salad; note that the tahini dressing looks creamier). Add the shredded cabbage to a large bowl and toss with about ⅓ cup dressing. Set aside to soften.
- If using ready-to-eat edamame, you can skip this step. Place frozen edamame beans in a medium pot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 1-2 minutes or until tender; don't overcook. Make an ice bath in a bowl. Drain the edamame and immediately pour into the ice bath. Let sit for a few minutes, until chilled. Drain and pat dry.
- Add the edamame, cucumber, carrot , and cilantro to the bowl with the cabbage. Toss to combine, and add more dressing to taste. Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle.
Notes
- Additions: One of my favorite things to include in this salad is riced hearts of palm. It gives the dressing something to cling and adds another fun texture.
- For a heartier salad toss in some avocado, quinoa, noodles, or a grain like farro.
- Store: The salad holds up well in the fridge for up to 2 days. For the best texture, store the dressing separately and toss it in before serving.
