EDAMAME BEAN SALAD



Edamame Bean Salad image

A quick and simple plant-based, vegan salad that is great at room temperature or cold. I make this protein-packed dish for my kids' school lunch 2 to 3 times a month. I sometimes use small white beans when out of garbanzos, and add avocado and/or cooked quinoa, tomato, or cucumber to change it up or stretch it. It is great for picnics, potlucks, and kids' school lunches, and can be side or main dish, served on a bed of spinach, or in a wrap.

Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, take the time to prep all of the ingredients. This includes rinsing and draining the black beans and edamame, chopping the vegetables, and measuring out the dressing ingredients.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Using fresh, ripe ingredients will give your salad the best flavor. If possible, try to buy organic produce.
  • Don't Overcook the Edamame: Edamame should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Let the Salad Chill: After you have assembled the salad, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
