Method
 

  1. Begin by thawing your edamame. You can do this slowly by placing the bag in the refrigerator overnight, or for a quicker method, dump the frozen edamame into a large bowl filled with cold water. Let it soak for about 10 minutes until they've thawed and are ready to go.
  2. Next, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the avocado oil, rice vinegar (or lime juice), soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic, and maple syrup. Whisk everything together until well combined. The dressing should have a balanced taste of savory and sweet.
  3. Now it's time for the salad assembly! In a large bowl, combine the thawed edamame, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and grated carrot. Toss these ingredients gently to ensure they’re mixed well without bruising the vegetables.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad, making sure everything gets coated evenly. Toss it all together gently, using a spatula or your hands, so that every bite is bursting with flavor.
  5. Once tossed, taste your Edamame Salad. Adjust the seasoning by adding sea salt according to your preference. If you like a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes!
  6. Let the salad sit for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. It’s a great time to set the table or prepare any additional side dishes.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature. It makes a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a light lunch on its own.
  8. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just remember to give it a good toss before serving again!
  9. Enjoy your refreshing Edamame Salad and relish in the compliments you’ll receive for this vibrant dish!

Notes

When storing in the refrigerator, the cucumbers may become softer over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh!
