Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 cup crispy chow mein noodles (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • For the Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, grated ginger, and minced garlic until fully combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked edamame, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
  3. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing over the salad ingredients. Toss gently until all vegetables are lightly coated. Add more dressing if needed, reserving a small amount for drizzling later.
  4. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Do not add the crispy noodles yet.
  5. When ready to serve, transfer the salad to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the top evenly with the crispy chow mein noodles and toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with any remaining dressing.

Notes

  • For a peanut edamame salad dressing variation, add 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter to the dressing ingredients and whisk well.
  • This salad holds up well for meal prep for up to three days if you store the crispy noodles separately.
  • You can substitute quinoa for some of the cabbage to make this a heartier quinoa edamame salad.
