Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Edamame (shelled, frozen)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen shelled edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool completely.
While the edamame cools, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, slice the red onion into thin strips, and roughly chop the Kalamata olives. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is emulsified.
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled edamame, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Garnish the salad with chopped parsley and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
