yum!! this looks fantastic!!
Looks great! In the picture it looks like there is some kind of dressing on it. Did you use any oil or anything like that?
1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lime juice 🙂
I have a similar recipe that you would love. But my recipe calls for 1 chopped red onion,,1 chopped red pepper and 10 oz. of Monterey Jack cheese cut into cubes. The dressing calls for 1/3 c. red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp. sugar, 1 garlic clove , salt and pepper to taste. My recipe doesn’t call for edamame , green onion, tomato r cumin.
Sounds fantastic!
I make the exact same thing, it’s my signature dish to take to parties, everyone loves it. I’ve never added edamame, but I will from now on. Yum!
Oh this looks so good and perfect for football!
Looks so yummy! I would be the same way and just eating it and putting it on everything! Have fun at your party tonight!
I just happen to have edamame in my fridge and black beans in my pantry – lucky me! This looks delicious!
My family makes something similar called ‘Cowboy Caviar’ but never with edamame, sounds like a good addition! I love anything with a little cilantro in it.
Edamame caviar! This reminds me a lot of a salad I used to get at Kroger called edamame caviar. I replicated, but it’s a little less Mexican-y than this salad:) Either way – delicious!
