Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by shelling the edamame and prepping your vegetables.
  2. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cucumber; halve the tomatoes and dice the cucumber.
  3. Finely chop the red onion and cilantro.
Mixing
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shelled edamame, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, finely chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro.
Dressing
  1. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and Serve
  1. Drizzle the dressing over the edamame mixture and gently toss until well-coated.
  2. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve fresh or let chill before serving.

Notes

For optimal freshness, prepare the salad just before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. Avoid overcooking the edamame – they should retain a slight bite.
