"I like Three bean salad. I like Wasabi... well... From Real Simple."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 lb frozen shelled edamame
• 1⁄2 lb fresh bean sprout
• 1⁄4 cup japanese pickled ginger, minced
• 3 tablespoons japanese pickled ginger liquid, see note
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 tablespoons Braggs liquid aminos
• 1 tablespoon wasabi powder or 1 tablespoon wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 scallions, minced

directions

1. NOTE: Save the 3 tbsp ginger liquid for that step. The zaar computer didn't like Japanese pickled ginger liquid so I had to change it. Also note simply save what the ginger came inches.
2. In pot of lightly salted water cook green beans for about 5 minutes then add the soybeans.
3. Place bean sprouts in colander and rinse: when water returns to boil after adding soy drain over sprouts.
4. Rinse the green bean/soy with cold water to stop cooking.
5. Whisk ginger, liquid, garlic, oil, Braggs, wasabi and salt together in a bowl.
6. Add in the beans and sprouts plus the scallions and toss.

Although we doubled the wasabi powder, this still had more of a ginger taste but very good. We substituted low sodium soy sauce for the Braggs, and had to almost double the dressing. Also note the portions are entree-sized; for a side salad you can make half the amount. The directions could be cleaned up since I didn't understand #1 and didn't know what temperature for #2 - is the water supposed to be boiling before we add the beans? Loved it and would make this again!
