Ingredients
  

1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions
 

If using frozen edamame, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the edamame and cook for about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and cool under cold running water. If using fresh, simply shell the edamame and set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked edamame, diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion.

      In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.

        Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, being careful not to mash the avocado.

          Finally, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and toss lightly again. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes for the flavors to meld. Enjoy fresh!
