Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Frozen Shelled Edamame (defrosted)
- 1 cup Diced Cucumber
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese or Diced Avocado
- 2 tablespoons Sliced Green Onion
- 1/4 cup Sesame Dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- Tortilla Chips or Crackers, for serving
- Optional: Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl: sesame oil, soy sauce, chili crisp, honey, rice vinegar, and optional garlic. Ensure it is smooth. If using store-bought dressing, you can skip this step.
- In a separate large bowl, combine the defrosted edamame, diced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese or diced avocado, and sliced green onion.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and stir gently until everything is well coated.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.
- Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use avocado instead of feta cheese.
- Customize with additional vegetables like shredded carrots or diced bell peppers.
- Store salad ingredients and dressing separately if preparing in advance to maintain freshness.
- Adjust spice level by modifying the amount of chili crisp in the dressing.
