Corn, Black Bean & Edamame Salad

December 12, 2013 by heather 6 Comments

corn, black bean & edamame salad

Edamame in a Tex Mex inspired salad?

YES. I suppose you could call this Tex Mex/Asian fusion. I call it delicious!

The edamame/black bean combination make this salad a protein and fiber powerhouse. Dressed lightly in a lime and cumin vinaigrette, this salad is perfect for a barbeque, a potluck or packed for lunch. I’ve even wrapped it up in a high fiber wrap for dinner.

Feel free to play around with the vegetables, adding more peppers, or chucking in some chopped tomatoes or avocado. Make a double batch – you’ll be happy to spy this light and refreshing salad in your fridge during this season of indulgence!

    I’ve long loved making this recipe!

    Try trading the frozen corn for fresh sweet corn cut right off the cob and the red pepper for fresh jalapeño. Mmmm!

    What about those allergic to soy?  Any good substitutes for the edamame?

      You could easily leave it out and add more beans and corn, along with some chopped tomatoes and some more chopped pepper. You might also try peas or Lima beans.
