Ingredients
- 8 oz snap peas
- 8 oz shelled edamame
- 3 TBSP sliced green onions or scallions
- 1 TBSP toasted sesame seeds for topping, optional
SWEET CHILI DRESSING
- 2-3 TBSP rice vinegar to taste
- 2 TBSP sweet chili sauce
- 2 TBSP avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- ½ tsp fresh grated/minced ginger
- ½ lime, juiced
- ¼-½ tsp salt to taste
Instructions
PREP THE VEGGIES
- Trim the ends from the snap peas and slice diagonally on a bias. You'll position your knife at 45 degrees from the snap peas to create a diamond-like shape that is oh so satisfying to eat by the forkful. Slice the green onions the same way.
- Prep edamame as needed. You can buy your edamame already cooked and shelled *or* pick up a 10-12 oz package of whole edamame pods and cook them for a few minutes in boiling water. Then simply pop the seeds out of the shells and add them to your salad. I buy a costco-sized package of edamame pods every few months and shell my own. Either way will have delicious results!
MAKE THE DRESSING
- Peel and mince a clove of garlic and squeeze the juice from half a lime.
- Add dressing ingredients to a mason jar and shake well to combine. You can add extra rice vinegar or lime juice for a more tart dressing if desired.
- You can dunk a snap pea into the dressing and taste test the acidity/sweetness then adjust to your liking.
SALAD TIME!
- Add the veggies and half the shaken dressing to a large salad bowl and mix well. Taste and add any additional salt desired, then add as much of the remaining dressing as you'd like.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!
