Description
A refreshing salad blending crunchy cucumbers and hearty edamame with a creamy, umami-packed dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 English cucumber or 2-3 Persian cucumbers, chopped
- 1 ¼ cup shelled edamame
- 1 avocado, cubed
- Spritz of lime juice + pinch of salt
- ½ cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
- ½ tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (juice of one whole lime)
- 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste (or yellow miso paste)
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- For serving (optional): chili crunch or chili garlic sauce, extra sesame seeds, green onions
Instructions
- Spritz the avocado with lime juice and season with a pinch of salt.
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl.
- Toss gently with about 2/3 of the dressing until everything is well coated.
- Top with more green onions, sesame seeds, another drizzle of dressing, and a spoonful of chili crunch if desired.
- Prepare the dressing by combining ingredients in a small bowl or salad shaker and whisking vigorously, or blending in a small blender cup or food processor.
- Enjoy the blended dressing for a more cohesive texture than whisked dressing.
Notes
Use fresh, in-season produce for the best flavor and nutrition. Assemble the salad without dressing to maintain freshness.
