    • Edamame Salad

    Why This Recipe Works 

    Are you looking for a salad that’s bursting with fresh flavors and nourishing ingredients? Then look no further! This edamame salad with corn, cucumber, bell pepper, and a zesty lime dressing is about to become your new favorite go-to recipe. Trust me, you will love this salad. 

    I’ve made this recipe so many times and it always works like a charm. First of all, let’s talk about the star of this salad: edamame. These vibrant green soybeans are a fantastic source of plant-based protein and make this salad super healthy and filling. Plus, they are also rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

    The corn adds a natural sweetness while the cucumbers and the bell peppers add a nice crunch and a pop of color. All in all, it’s a super harmonious blend of tastes and textures.

    For the dressing, I used an easy combination of fresh cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, maple syrup, and smoked paprika powder. Just place all ingredients in a food processor and process until you’ve got a chunky dressing. It brings a tangy and bright note to the salad that perfectly ties all the flavors together. 

    To top this recipe off, I sprinkled it with crumbled vegan feta cheese, which adds a salty and tangy touch.

    One of the things I love most about this salad (besides its amazing taste!) is that it’s super versatile. You can enjoy it as a light lunch or serve it as a side dish alongside grilled tofu or tempeh. It’s also a great option for potlucks, picnics, or BBQ parties, as it can be made ahead of time and stays fresh and flavorful. 

    Not only is this edamame salad extremely delicious, but it’s also a nutritious powerhouse. It will keep you feeling energized for hours! It’s one of those recipes that will leave you craving for more! 

    Ingredients

    the ingredients that go into this recipe on a marble countertop with labels with each name of the ingredients
    • Edamame – I used frozen edamame that I cooked for 5 minutes. 
    • Corn – frozen or canned. 
    • Bell Pepper – I used a yellow and a red one. 
    • Cucumber – one English cucumber. It adds a nice crisp. 
    • Red Onion – its mild flavor is perfect for salads. Don’t replace it with any other kind of onion. 
    • Green Onions – I love the combination of red and green onions in this salad. They add the perfect flavor and crunch. 
    • Lime – fresh lime juice. It gives the dressing a tangy and fresh flavor. 
    • Maple Syrup – adds the perfect amount of sweetness to the dressing that balances out the flavors. 
    • Olive Oil – use organic, extra-virgin olive oil for the best flavor. 
    • Fresh Cilantro – adds a fresh and herbaceous note to this salad. 
    • Spices – ground cumin and smoked paprika powder. 
    • Salt & Pepper

    7. Step: Add the cilantro lime dressing.

    8. Step: Stir well and sprinkle with the crumbled vegan feta.

    Tips & Tricks

    • For a bit of heat, you could sprinkle the salad with red pepper flakes before serving it. 
    • The salad is also great without the vegan feta sprinkled on top. I love it because it adds a creamy and tangy taste. You could also use my homemade vegan feta made with tofu. I recommend leaving out the Italian herbs if you make the vegan feta for this recipe. 

    Storing 

    Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, this salad will last 3-4 days. 

    Variations

    This salad is super versatile. Here are some ideas for variations and possible add-ins: 

    • To make this salad an even more nutritious meal, you could add cooked quinoa. 
    • Use sliced baby cucumbers instead of diced English cucumber. 
    • Add halved cherry tomatoes. 
    • Add finely diced mango for a fruity version. Make sure it’s ripe.
    • Diced avocado is also a great addition. Just make sure to add it right before serving because it doesn’t keep well.
