Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame

- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 1 large lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the frozen edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
In the same saucepan, bring water to a boil again and cook the frozen corn kernels for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion.
Chop the cilantro finely, and if desired, remove the stems.
Carefully slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds (for less heat), and finely mince it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked edamame, cooked corn, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño.
Juice the lime into a small bowl and whisk it together with olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
Pour the dressing over the edamame and corn mixture and gently toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
