Fresh Edamame Vegetable Salad

This recipe is from my mother's newspaper clipping recipe collection, so I'm not quite sure when or where it actually came from... I suspect it's from the 70s. I've tweaked it here and there - it originally called for dry soybeans soaked overnight, but I love edamame and they're much more widely available now than they used to be. Prep time includes chilling.

This was enjoyed as a side to veggie burgers. We loved the crunch of the salad. It was reduced to 2 servings and made 3 nice servings along with the burgers. The optional vegetables were halved cherry tomatoes. The dressing was made with white wine vinegar and the balsamic. Something I will made again. Thank you for sharing.2Reply

We loved this!I made some minor changes based on what I had on hand and dietary restrictions of some of the people to whom it was being served. The changes made are: I had several luscious red bell peppers on hand, so only used red instead of adding green and yellow bell peppers, and skipped the mushrooms because I didn't have any on hand. I also cooked the edamame for a few minutes, and blanched the asparagus. Some people in the group I was serving do not use vinegar, so I skipped the vinegar and balsamic vinegar and increased the lemon juice to 2 TBSP. I also used a saltless shoyu instead of regular soy sauce. The vegetable oil I used was extra virgin olive oil, and I used dried dill weed and toasted sesame seeds. This recipe is a keeper and we will be making this on a regular basis from now on!2Reply
