Chef's Tips

For a more substantial salad, add shredded carrots, chopped bell peppers, or cooked quinoa.

If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger.

The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing.

Make sure to drain the edamame completely after cooking to prevent a watery salad.
