In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and cook the frozen edamame for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked edamame, cooked corn, diced red bell pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño.

Step 8

Juice the lime into a small bowl and whisk it together with olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.

Pour the dressing over the edamame and corn mixture and gently toss to combine.
