Serves: 2

Details:

This recipe is very satisfying, thanks to protein- and fiber-rich edamame. Pair the beans with grilled salmon, as we’ve done here, for a totally easy but tastes-like-it-took-all-day-to-cook meal.

Tip:

If you can’t easily find edamame, you may substitute chickpeas.

Ingredients:

8 ounces frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
1 ounce seasoned rice vinegar
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
Dash freshly ground black pepper
1/2 bunch radishes (4 ounces), cut in half and thinly sliced
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh cilantro leaves
