Salad:
- 2 cups shelled edamame, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup carrot, julienned or shredded
- 1 cup cabbage, finely shredded
- 1 cup English or Persian cucumber, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Prepare Edamame: If using frozen edamame, thaw and cook as instructed. Place beans in a colander, rinse under water, or immerse in a bowl of water. Bring a pot of water to the boil, add the edamame, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, then drain and cool under cold water.
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the cooked edamame, shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, diced cucumber, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Mix gently to combine.
- Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, extra virgin olive oil, rice vinegar, maple syrup or honey, and grated ginger until fully emulsified.
- Dress and Marinate: Pour the dressing over the salad base and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients. Cover and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Finish and Serve: Toss the salad gently once more. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
