For the Salad
- ½ cup quinoa
- ¾ cups water
- 1 cup shelled edamame cooked and cooled
- 1 cup carrots shredded or julienned
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 green onions sliced thinly
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
- ½ avocado diced
For the Sesame Ginger Dressing
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds plus more for garnish
Rinse quinoa under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until quinoa is fluffy and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, honey, ginger, sesame seed oil, and sesame seeds.
In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, edamame, carrots, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro.
Pour the sesame ginger dressing over the quinoa salad and toss to combine.
Top with sesame seeds, cubed avocado, and extra cilantro if desired.
- My Top Tip: Rinse your quinoa before cooking. Quinoa can have a bitter coating, but rinsing helps to remove it!
- Storage: You can keep your edamame salad in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days! I recommend eating it cold or at room temperature. There's no need to reheat it.
