Instructions

  3. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled edamame, chopped vegetables, and dressing. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated.
  5. Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let your Edamame Salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

  • Don’t Overcook the Edamame: Aim for a tender yet firm texture to maintain the salad’s crunch.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste as you go; adjust the seasoning to suit your palate.
  • Make Ahead: This salad can be made a day in advance for convenience, just keep it covered in the fridge.
  • Experiment with Dressings: Try different dressings like tahini or a balsamic vinaigrette for unique flavors.
