EDAMAME & SCALLION SLAW WITH ORANGE LIME DRESSING
Dave's Dinners: A Fresh Approach To Home-Cooked Meals by Dave Lieberman
Edamame is the Japanese word for soybean and they're incredible! They're rich yet light, firm yet chewy, one of the few vegetables I know so full of contradictions. I first tried these in Hawaii at a Japanese restaurant. They were served in the pod and seasoned with tons of salt. I fell in love. Here, I just use the beans. You can buythem just like that, usually in the frozen or refrigerated section of the market.
For the Dressing • 1/4 cup olive oil • 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard • Juice of 2 large navel oranges • Juice of 1 lime • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Salad • 2 (1-pound) packages prepared slaw mix • 1 pound edamame, shelled, boiled in salted water for 3 to 5 minutes, and drained • 1 bunch scallions (about 6), thinly sliced
Directions Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Combine the slaw, edamame, and scallions in a serving bowl.
Toss with the dressing and serve.
If not serving immediately, cover the salad with a moist paper towel or clean kitchen towel and refrigerate until ready to serve. Dress the salad just before serving.
