TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this edamame & avocado salad.

  • Use Fresh Edamame: If using frozen edamame, rinse with cold water after cooking to cool them quickly and preserve their texture.
  • Choose Ripe Avocado: A perfectly ripe avocado should be firm but slightly soft when gently pressed.
  • Enhance The Crunch: Add toasted sesame seeds or slivered almonds for an extra crunch.
  • Balance The Flavours: Adjust the sesame ginger dressing to taste—add more for extra zest or mix with a little lime juice for added freshness.
  • Pairing Suggestion: Serve with grilled tofu, tempeh or quinoa for a more filling meal.

VARIATIONS

  • Nut-Free Alternative: Swap almonds for pumpkin or sunflower seeds for similar crunch.
  • Extra Protein: Add tofu, grilled chicken or chickpeas for a protein boost.
  • Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha for a bit of heat.
  • Citrus Twist: Add orange or mandarin slices for a refreshing contrast.
  • Superfood Boost: Toss in chia or hemp seeds for additional omega-3s.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For best results, keep the dressing separate and mix before serving.
  • Dressing Storage: The sesame ginger dressing can be refrigerated in a sealed jar for up to 5 days. Shake before using.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare ingredients ahead and store them separately for quick assembly.
  • Avoid Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as fresh vegetables and avocado lose their texture when thawed.
