Ingredients

  • Ingredients

  • For the salad

  • 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage

  • 2 cups finely shredded green cabbage

  • 2 cups boiled edamame

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 1 cup sliced bell pepper

  • 1 large cucumber seeded and sliced into half moons

  • ¼ cup roasted salted peanuts

  • 1 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • For the peanut dressing

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

  • ¼ cup rice vinegar or lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoons sesame oil

  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar

  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha or chili garlic sauce(optional)

  • Salt to taste

Directions

  • You can use frozen edamame, shelled or unshelled, and simply boil or steam them according to package instructions. If using fresh edamame, remove the pods and blanch the beans for a few minutes.
  • In a small bowl or mason jar, add the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt,  sugar, and optional chili garlic sauce. Close tightly with a lid and shake to combine, or use a whisk to stir into a smooth dressing. It should be smooth and pourable. If not, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water at a time to make a thinner consistency. Taste for seasonings.
  • To a large bowl, add the shredded cabbage, thawed shelled edamame, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, red bell pepper, peanuts, sesame seeds.
  • Top the edamame salad ingredients with the peanut sauce. Use tongs or salad servers to toss the salad until it is well coated in the sauce.
  • Cover and chill for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

  • For a visually appealing salad, use a variety of colors and textures.
  • Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing feel.
  • Don’t overcook the edamame, they should be slightly tender but still have a bite.
  • Adjust the dressing and seasoning to your taste preference.
  • Get creative with herbs and spices like garlic, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
