Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then set aside.

Step 2

If using fresh corn, blanch the kernels in boiling water for 2 minutes. If using frozen corn, thaw completely. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely dice the red onion. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro leaves.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked edamame, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Garnish with additional cilantro before serving, if desired.
