Description

The feta is creamy, rich, adds big flavor, and edamame is a plant-based protein powerhouse. Between the protein and fiber, it helps keep you full for awhile. The corn, red pepper, green onions, and cilantro add layers of flavors, textures. Wheat berries are very chewy, hearty, and give the salad oomph but quinoa or brown rice can be used. Everything is tossed with a small amount of lemon and lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne which doesn’t make it spicy but rather makes it not bland. Theres lots of wiggle room in the recipe and if you’re short or over, by a half-cup or so on any of the ingredients, it’s okay. The salad is great right out of the mixing bowl but it tastes better the second day.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups shelled and cooked edamame (I boil for about 5 minutes in the micro)
  • 1 cup frozen or fresh corn (I use frozen and set it on top of the hot edamame in the bowl and it thaws in minutes)
  • 1 cup cooked wheat berries (about 3/4 cup cooked quinoa or quick-cooking brown rice may be substituted to save time)
  • 1/2 red pepper, seeded and diced small (yellow or orange peppers may be substituted)
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro leaves with stems discarded, or to taste
  • heaping 1/2 cup crumbled feta, or more to taste (I used fat-free)
  • 2 green onions, trimmed and sliced very thin (I use entire onion from white to green)
  • 1 small/medium Roma or vine-ripened tomato diced small, optional
  • 1 small/medium Hass avocado peeled, pitted, and diced, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • generous pinch cayenne pepper (doesnt make it spicy, makes it not bland)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  • To a large bowl, add all ingredients in the order listed, and toss very well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Salad may be served immediately although the flavors marry, develop, and salad tastes even better the second day. Salad will keep airtight in fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Serves: about 4 cups, serves 2 very generously or 4 modestly

Edamame Feta Salad - Averie Cooks

Descrition:

I could eat this salad every day and not tire of it. There’s so much to love in every bite. The feta is creamy, rich, adds big flavor, and aside from a tiny amount of olive oil, it’s the only real fat source in the salad. Except I used fat-free feta. I’ll save my fat grams for these. …
