Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups shelled edamame (thawed, if frozen)
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage and carrot slaw mix
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup roasted cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

  3. Step 3: Cook the main ingredients
  4. Step 4: Season to taste
  5. Step 5: Serve hot

Notes

  • To keep the crunch vibrant, always store the dressing separately from the slaw mix, combining only immediately before you plan to eat; dressed leftovers are best within 24 hours.
  • Skip reheating entirely, as this salad is designed for cool, crisp enjoyment; if you prefer the cashews warm, quickly toast them just before mixing into the chilled vegetables.
  • This crunchy salad is a perfect bright side dish for grilled salmon or tofu skewers, or bulk it up into a full lunch by adding quinoa or brown rice.
  • For deeper flavor and slightly softer edamame, quickly blanch the thawed edamame in boiling water for 60 seconds before assembling the salad, which also helps the dressing adhere better.
