Edamame Corn Carrot Salad

Flavorful
Description

I came up with this easy salad while brainstorming light, protein-filled recipes. My vegetarian and vegan friends are especially big fans.

Ingredients
  • 2-1/2 cups frozen shelled edamame
  • 3 cups julienned carrots
  • 1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions
  1. Place edamame in a small saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cook 4-5 minutes or until tender. Drain and place in a large bowl; cool slightly.
  2. Add carrots, corn, green onions and cilantro. Whisk together vinaigrette ingredients; toss with salad. Refrigerate, covered, at least 2 hours before serving.
