Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the cooked and cooled shelled edamame, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, shredded red cabbage, green onions, and cilantro into a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, maple syrup, and chili garlic sauce, if you are using it, to make the dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetable and edamame mixture.
  4. Toss everything gently until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the salad for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. This step is good for meal prep.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal prep salad, add 1 cup of cooked quinoa to the mixture.
  • If you prefer a peanut dressing salad flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon of peanut butter for the sesame oil in the dressing recipe.
  • You can prepare the vegetables and dressing up to one day ahead; combine them just before serving for the best crunch.
