Edamame Salad

We're eager to get your take on this salad. Edamame is virtually tasteless so this recipe is full of flavor enhancers: chives, garlic, lemon, and scallions, plus fresh mozzarella for a nice texture change. One ingredient we chose to leave out however is salt. We did this as an experiment and I think if you are use to very little salt in dishes, you will be fine. Others may want to add a pinch. Also, the recipe calls for 1 clove of garlic, but when we made it the garlic overpowered everything, so we recommend starting with half a clove.

Ingredients

Frozen edamame, shelled 1 bag (454 grams)
Fresh, low-fat Mozzarella, 4 ounces (108 grams)
Fresh chives, 1/4 ounce (6 grams)
Scallions, 2 (14 grams)
Extra virgin olive oil, 1 TB (15 mL)
Fresh squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 cup (46 grams)
Garlic, 1 clove (2 grams) -or start with 1/2
Freshly ground black pepper, 1/8 tsp (.6 mL)

Preparation

Defrost edamame.

Cut mozzarella into 1/2-inch pieces; chop scallions and chives. Place in a bowl with edamame.

Mince garlic. Mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper together. Pour over edamame mixture.

Let sit covered, overnight in the refrigerator. Taste, if needed add 1/2 tsp of salt.
