How To Make Edamame Salad
Start by heating the shelled, frozen edamame. Follow the instructions on the package. (We thawed them in the microwave for 5 minutes.)
Meanwhile, you can prep the rest of your salad. Wash your tomatoes and chop them into pieces. Add the tomatoes to the bowl.
Slice off the ends of the onion and peel off the outer shell. Then slice and dice the onion into small pieces. Add the onion to the bowl.
Drain the can of corn, then add the corn kernels to the bowl.
Now it’s time to make the dressing. Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into the measuring cup. Squeeze in one half of the lime juice. Use a fork to whisk the oil and juice together. Pour the dressing over the salad. Also add salt and pepper to taste.
Once the edamame is done, add it to the salad. Toss to mix everything together. Add any more seasonings as needed.
Cooking Tips:
- Corn options: canned, fresh, or frozen (thaw first)
- If you want to serve the salad cold, allow the cooked edamame to cool before adding it to the salad bowl
- Really like lime flavor? You can squeeze the whole lime into the olive oil for the dressing
What To Serve With Edamame Salad
Edamame salad would be a hit at a potluck event. Serve it with other “pass around” dishes like Korean Cucumber Salad, Watermelon Tomato Salad, or Popcorn Salad Recipe.
If you have leftovers, try adding them to a soup. Ingredients like edamame and tomatoes would go awesome in Instant Pot Vegetable Beef Soup, Chili Soup, or Tomato Soup With Tomato Paste.
