Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Edamame (shelled)
- 1 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced Cucumber
- 1 large, diced Avocado
- 1 cup, halved Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil, then add the shelled edamame. Cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
While the edamame is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and avocado. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.
Once the edamame is cooked, drain and let it cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Allow it to drain thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled edamame, diced red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the edamame and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the salad and give it one final gentle toss.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your Keto-friendly Edamame Salad!
