Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using frozen edamame, pop them in boiling water for about 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.
  2. While the edamame is cooling, dice the red bell pepper, slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro.
Mixing the Dressing
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until combined.
Combine Ingredients
  1. In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens, cooled edamame, diced bell pepper, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro.
  2. Gently fold in the roasted peanuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Serving
  1. Drizzle the dressing over the salad mixture and toss lightly to coat all ingredients.
  2. Enjoy right away for the best texture or chill briefly if you prefer it cold.

Notes

Store in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2-3 days. Dress the salad just before serving to maintain freshness. Freezing is not ideal as it may alter the texture.
