Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen edamame (shelled)
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cups Red onion
- 0.25 cups Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then set aside.
If using fresh corn, blanch the kernels in boiling water for 2 minutes. If using frozen corn, thaw completely. Drain and set aside.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked edamame, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
Garnish with additional cilantro before serving, if desired.
