Ingredients

  • 2 cups shelled edamame
  • 2 cups frozen organic corn
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • ½ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ⅓ cup chopped green onion plus extra to taste
  • cilantro to garnish
CILANTRO LIME DRESSING
  • 3 TBSP lime juice (2 limes)
  • ¼ cup avocado oil (or light olive oil)
  • 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves plus extra for topping
  • 2 tsp honey or agave/sugar if vegan
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • ⅛ tsp cumin

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook edamame per package instructions and, if using edamame pods in place of shelled edamame, simply pop the soy beans out into a bowl. I do the latter and it goes crazy quick, if you can refrain from eating them all while shelling them.
  2. While your edamame boils, cook corn by steaming or sautéing. You can 100% use fresh instead of frozen if desired!
  3. Chop your bell pepper, red onion, and green onion and combine with edamame and corn.
  4. To make the cilantro lime vinaigrette, combine all the above ingredients in a small mason jar and shake well. Pour over salad and toss to combine. Add a little extra cilantro to garnish (as much or as little as you'd like!) and dig in! Salad may be chilled before serving if desired <-- it's extra tasty both ways!

Notes

  • I typically keep organic non-shelled edamame pods handy in my freezer at all times. Two 10 ounce packages yields approx. 2 cups of edamame, perfect for this tasty salad!
