Ingredients

  • 250 ml (1 cup) frozen shelled edamame
  • 350 g (approx. 16) asparagus, cut into sections (see Note)
  • 4 to 5 Lebanese cucumbers, diced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) toasted sesame oil
  • The juice of one lemon (60 ml or ¼ cup)
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) rice vinegar
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) soy sauce
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) Sambal Oelek (or sriracha)
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame seeds

 

Note : For a low FODMAP option, use green beans instead of asparagus.

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, cover the edamame with boiling water and leave to soak for 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing with cold water and draining.
  2. Meanwhile, steam the asparagus for about 3 minutes, or until the asparagus is cooked but still slightly crunchy. Rinse and drain.
  3. In a large bowl, combine edamame, asparagus, cucumber and green onions.
  4. In a small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients with a fork, then pour over salad. Mix well and serve immediately.

Notes

Keep for 4 days in the refrigerator, but this salad is best eaten immediately. Does not freeze.
