Chelsea LeBlanc

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shelled frozen edamame, defrosted
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly diced
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soynut butter
  • 1 tablespoon soybean (vegetable) oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Water to thin (optional)
  • Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Many edamame options come pre-cooked, so you can simply rinse them under cold water to defrost or cook them according to package instructions if needed. Once ready, drain well.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the edamame, cucumbers, and green onions.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together the soynut butter, soybean oil, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sriracha, maple syrup, ginger, and garlic powder until smooth. Option to add a little water to the mason jar to help get the remaining dressing off the side.
  4. 4
    Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve or refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
