Instructions
In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
If using frozen corn, cook it according to package instructions. If using fresh corn, boil for 3 minutes and cut kernels off the cob. If using canned corn, simply drain and rinse. Set aside to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a light, healthy meal.
