High-Fibre, High Protein 10-Minute Edamame Salad

If you’ve ever had chilled edamame with ponzu at a Japanese izakaya, this salad will feel instantly familiar. This quick and refreshing edamame chopped salad comes together in just 10 minutes and is packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and plenty of crunch. The edamame adds a hearty bite, cucumber and onions keep it crisp and fresh. Tossed with sesame oil and kai dong’s Yuzu Sesame Dressing, you get the bright tang of yuzu and the nutty sesame flavor that makes it just as good straight out of the bowl as it is served as a side for a full meal.

Yuzu Edamame Salad Ingredients

Edamame

Edamame is one of my favorite ingredients to toss into a salad. It is so much more than just a pop of green! These little soybeans are incredibly nutrient-dense. They pack tons of protein, fiber, and extra vitamins and minerals like iron, folate, and calcium in each little bean. They make your salad feel way more satisfying and hearty. The flavor is slightly nutty and buttery, which pairs perfectly with crisp veggies and a tangy dressing.

Yuzu Sesame Dressing

To bring all the flavors together, I’m using kai dong’s newest Yuzu Sesame Dressing. Made with Taiwanese Wentan yuzu vinegar, aged soy sauce, and a touch of white sesame oil, it has this bright citrusy lift with a gentle toasted depth that makes the edamame and cucumber pop. It’s my latest go-to dressing for quick, refreshing noodles or easy salads like this one.

Extra Add-ins For Edamame Salad

Sometimes I like to bulk this salad up with a few extra add-ins. If I’m craving something more filling, I add extra add-ins! I love adding veggies like bell pepper, avocado, or sauteed mushrooms for a different texture. For extra protein, try mixing in poke or your favorite grilled protein.

Here are a couple of protein recipes I think you’ll enjoy as an add-in for this salad!

Ways To Serve Chopped Edamame Salad

This salad is everything from a side dish to a conveniently fresh topping for various meals. Enjoy it chilled on its own for a light, high-fiber, high-protein salad meal, or pair it with roasted seaweed and hot rice for a more filling option. Sometimes, I meal prep this salad as a topping for quick salmon poke rice bowl anytime. It’s also a perfectly scoopable snack with wonton chips or tortilla chips.
