Carrot and edamame salad on a white plate

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    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.
  2. Step 2

    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.

Tips

  • 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.
