INGREDIENTS LIST-WHAT YOU NEED

Edamame Salad Recipe ingredients

Edamame

The star ingredient in this recipe! Edamame is a whole, immature soybean that’s full of healthy fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin K. Just one cup contains 17 grams of protein. Make sure you grab shelled edamame to save yourself lots of time. You should be able to find some in the frozen vegetable section of your grocery store.

Red Bell Pepper

Red bell peppers are a great source of vitamins A and C. Red bell peppers have a sweeter taste which is perfect in this recipe. Yellow or orange bell peppers would work as well.

Carrot

Carrots add the perfect crunchy texture and vibrant color to this easy edamame salad recipe. Just a half cup contains 73% of the daily recommended value of vitamin A. They’re also loaded with antioxidants.

Cucumber

Cucumbers are high in nutrients! They are fresh and delicious in this salad.

Green Onions

Also referred to as scallions, green onions contain lots of vitamin K. They have a sharp, somewhat spicy flavor that’s perfect in this recipe.

Spring Salad Mix

Spring salad mix usually contains spinach, arugula, baby lettuce, and other edible leaves. I like to chop my spring salad mix so it’s easier to eat.

Salt and Black Pepper

Just a touch adds the perfect flavor. I like using kosher salt, but any will work.Edamame Salad dressing ingredients

Almond Butter

Almond butter is a key ingredient in the dressing that brings this salad to life. It adds healthy fat and has anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its high amount of vitamin E. If you’d prefer, you can also use peanut butter.

Lime Juice

Lime juice adds a tangy, fresh flavor to the dressing.

Tamari

Tamari is a vegan and gluten-free soy sauce alternative. Tamari contains less sodium at just 233 mg per tablespoon compared to soy sauce which contains 900 mg per tablespoon.

Maple Syrup

Just a tad adds the perfect amount of sweetness!

Minced Ginger

Minced ginger adds the most delicious flavor to the dressing and also brings its anti-inflammatory properties!

Siracha Hot Sauce

Just a little bit of siracha hot sauce adds the perfect kick. If spice isn’t your favorite thing, you can omit it completely.

How to make Edamame Salad:

  1. Cook the edamame beans according to package instructions and allow to cool. (Pro tip: You can rinse the edamame with cold water to speed up the cooling process.)

    This salad is perfect for prepping meals since it is quick and simple to cook. The salad and dressing may be stored separately driving directions until it’s time to eat. If you prefer, sprinkle some sesame seeds over the salad before serving.
