Edamame-Bean Salad image

This recipe is easy and healthy, a good side dish or a main course for lunch. Vegetarian. Inspired by an edamame salad in the salad bar at my grocery store. It looked but didn't taste good, so I decided to make one that did.

1 (10 ounce) package shelled frozen edamame
1 large red pepper

  • Cut up red pepper into small cubes, set aside.
  • Pour cooked edamame and can of corn into colander, rinse with cold water to chill, shake off excess water, and pour into serving dish (I use same glass dish).
  • Empty cans of beans into colander, rinse well with cold water until it runs clear and shake off excess water.
  • Pour beans into dish with edamame and corn.
  • Add cut red pepper to dish.
  • Add fresh dill to taste (I cut up with scissors).
  • Add lime juice and Italian dressing, reduce dressing to cut back on salt, fat.
  • Season to taste with ground pepper.
  • Optional: Add a chopped avocado for a richer-tasting dish.
  • Serve immediately or even better, chill before serving.
