Green Edamame Salad with Sesame-Ginger Dressing
Serves 210 mins prep10 mins cook
The salad is light, fresh, healthy, naturally vegan and gluten-free, and satisfying. All this greenery is great for helping your body to be the powerhouse it wants to be. There’s edamame for protein and chewy texture, while sugar snap peas add fantastic crunch and their subtle sweetness is always welcome. And I’ve always loved peas and broccoli.The simple vinaigrette just makes the salad. It adds so much flavor, but it’s light and not greasy or gloppy. It’s made with sesame oil, which lends an Asian-themed flair. Apple cider vinegar adds brightness, agave (or honey) balances the tartness, and ground ginger adds a gentle heat.
