Salad Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled edamame (cooked and cooled)
- 1 medium cucumber, diced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: If using frozen edamame, cook them according to package instructions, then drain and allow to cool completely. Dice the cucumber into small cubes suitable for salad.
- Toss the salad: In a medium bowl, combine the shelled edamame and diced cucumber. Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce, then gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or snack.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if desired.
- Ensure edamame is completely cooled before tossing to maintain freshness.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
