Mmmm, this recipe is one that is a winner every time and it gets better the longer it sits and absorbs the dressing.
Edamame is such a great source of protein and fiber and tastes great added to any salad. You can normally find it in your frozen vegetable section in the new ‘steam bags’—-for salads (like this one) find the pre-shelled edamame…you don’t want to have to go to all the work. But otherwise, regular shelled edamame makes a great snack heated up in the afternoon!
Enjoy!
Edamame Salad Supreme
1 bag shelled edamame cooked/heated in microwave (then cooled)
1 can dark kidney beans: rinse and drained
1 can garbonzo beans: drained
1 small red onion
1 bunch of fresh cilantro
Dressing:
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
salt pepper
Mix all of the above ingredients together and let cool in fridge for 6-8 hours before serving (remembering to stir from time to time.) A great addition (for those of you who like things spicy) add some hot sauce to the dressing…gives it an extra kick.
