Start by preparing the fresh salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and add olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld together.
In a large salad bowl, add the cooked and shelled edamame, drained black beans, and chickpeas.
Add the cooked shrimp to the bowl with the edamame and beans.
Gently fold the fresh salsa into the edamame, beans, and shrimp mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to chill before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
