Crunchy carrots and edamame (soy beans) make a perfect pair for this salad. The Asian-flavoured dressing will balance the flavours of these favourite vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (500 g) frozen, shelled edamame (soy beans)
- 3 large carrots (about 500 g/1 lb), peeled and grated
- 45 mL (3 tbsp) chopped fresh coriander or parsley
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) tahini (sesame seed paste) or peanut butter
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) sodium-reduced soy sauce
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) unseasoned rice vinegar
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) minced fresh ginger
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1 mL (1/4 tsp) Asian garlic chili paste or hot pepper sauce
Directions
- In saucepan of boiling water, cook edamame for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drain well and place in large bowl. Add carrots and coriander.
- Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and chili paste. Drizzle over edamame and carrot mixture and toss well to coat.
Tip: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Some tahini pastes and peanut butters are very thick so you may need to add 15 to 30 mL (1 to 2 tbsp) of warm water to thin out the dressing.
