Summer Corn and Edamame Salad

Filed under :Salads, Sides

cornedamamesaladThis is great for summer BBQ in the backyard. Goes great with vegan burgers and tofurky sausage! Especially now that this time of year, the corn is at great prices, and you can get local corn at your neighborhood farmer’s market. The strawberry’s are also in season right now, so I tossed them in too. I used frozen edamame, because I always have it in the freezer, and it’s one of those great go-to veggies to have on hand. The balsamic vinegar really goes great with the strawberries, and blends all the flavors together.

Ingredients:

Serves 2

1 ear of corn, cooked, and corn taken off the cob
½ cup of edamame, cooked
½ chili pepper, diced fine
5-6 strawberries, chopped into small chunks
Olive Oil
1 ½ Tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
Teaspoon of dried Orange Peel
Teaspoon of sea salt

Combine corn, edamame, chili pepper, and strawberries in a bowl. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over top, along with orange peel and sea salt, and toss together gently, folding it all together. This is refreshing and tangy, with a small kick too it. Perfect for summer!
