Begin by blanching the shelled edamame. Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the edamame, and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Wash and dry the tatsoi and mizuna leaves thoroughly. Tear them into bite-sized pieces, if necessary, and place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the carrot and julienne it into thin strips. Thinly slice the radishes. Add both the carrot and radishes to the salad bowl along with the cooled edamame.
To prepare the sesame dressing, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated fresh ginger, and a pinch of black pepper in a small bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring all the greens and vegetables are evenly coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately as a light and healthy dish on its own, or as a side to complement your favorite main course.
