Ingredients

2 cups shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup green onions, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

If using frozen edamame, cook them in boiling water for about 3-5 minutes until tender, then drain and cool under cold water. If using fresh, simply shell the edamame.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shelled edamame, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and sliced green onions.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey (or agave syrup), and grated ginger until well combined.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl and gently toss everything together, being careful not to mash the avocado.

Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust seasoning as desired.

Finally, sprinkle fresh cilantro and sesame seeds on top for garnish.
