A classic cucumber salad is a light and refreshing way to get your veggies in. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or eating it on its own, you truly can't go wrong with this bright and flavorful veggie salad. And my favorite cucumber salad recipe, lately? Hands-down, it's my Cucumber Edamame Salad. This salad is bursting with crunchy cucumbers, fresh herbs, and protein-packed edamame for a salad that is equally as perfect for those long summer days, and late summer nights.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 6-8 Persian Cucumbers or 2 large English cucumbers; diced
  • 1 Cup Edamame shelled
  • ½ Cup Cilantro or Parsley chopped
  • 1 Bunch Green Onions thinly chopped

For the Dressing:

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ¼ Cup Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce or substitute with 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos
  • 1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 2 Teaspoons Maple Syrup
  • 2 Cloves Garlic mashed
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds optional; for garnishing

Instructions

  • To make the salad, start by chopping your cucumbers, cilantro (or parsley) and onions, and add them to a large bowl.
  • Next, shell your edamame (if not shelled already) and add it to the bowl.
  • Then, prepare the dressing by whisking the dressing ingredients together in a separate bowl.
  • Taste and adjust the dressing as needed, then pour it on top of the salad.
  • Toss to combine, serve, and enjoy! Store an leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to four days.
