Ingredients

• 1 cup Edamame (shelled, frozen)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives (pitted)
• 0.25 cup Red onion
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen shelled edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool completely.

Step 2

While the edamame cools, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, slice the red onion into thin strips, and roughly chop the Kalamata olives. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is emulsified.

Step 4

In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled edamame, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, Kalamata olives, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 5

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Garnish the salad with chopped parsley and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
