Steps
Cook edamame per package instructions and, if using edamame pods in place of shelled edamame, simply pop the soy beans out into a bowl. I do the latter and it goes crazy quick, if you can refrain from eating them all while shelling them.
While your edamame boils, cook corn by steaming or sautéing. You can 100% use fresh instead of frozen if desired!
Chop your bell pepper, red onion, and green onion and combine with edamame and corn.
To make the cilantro lime vinaigrette, combine all the above ingredients in a small mason jar and shake well. Pour over salad and toss to combine. Add a little extra cilantro to garnish (as much or as little as you'd like!) and dig in! Salad may be chilled before serving if desired <-- it's extra tasty both ways!

Mary on 2026-07-06 (1 stars): The dressing is extremely bland. Why is the oil:vinegar ratio so off? The only way to save the dressing was to add significantly more vinegar.

Marnie on 2022-07-10 (5 stars): This is an another amazing salad! Just finished making it and I am sitting down with a bowl as I write this. This salad tastes like summer. I followed the recipe as is except for the dressing.. I have developed a strong dislike for cumin so I left it out and added about 1/2 heaping teaspoon of powdered garlic, about an 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne powder, half a jalapeno and also omitted the sweetener since I don't like sweet dressings. Absolutely delicious! Thank you once again, Jenn, for another beautiful, delicious yet simple salad.
