Edamame Salad with fresh oil-free herb dressing
Ingredients
  • 6 cups of edamame
  • 4 cups of corn kernels, fresh is best, but frozen is fine (just defrost)
  • 2 cups of medium diced peppers-we used 1 red and 1 orange
  • 1 cup of chopped scallions
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)
Summer Herb Dressing:
  • ½ cup apple cider vinegar
  • ½ cup fresh basil
  • 2 tbsp fresh or 1 tsp dried dill
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp of sweetener of choice-maple syrup,date paste-if desired, you can omit to have no added sugars
  • pinch sea salt (or to taste), about ½ tsp
  • freshly ground pepper or to taste
  • water to thin if desired (we didn't)
Instructions
  1. Mix dressing ingredients together in a blender, taste to season.
  2. Blanch edamame in boil water until they turn bright green and soften slightly. Drain.
  3. If using frozen corn, defrost.Toss remaining ingredients into a bowl and add as much dressing as you feel you need.
  4. Season to taste and serve as a salad topper or as a side dish. This would also be great on top of a baked sweet potato! In the picture below, I show it with my home-grown sprouts, Red Cabbage Slaw, and Buckwheat Tabbouleh
