PIN Tomato Avocado Salad With Edamame To Try It Later!

This delicious Tomato and Avocado Salad with Edamame is something I love to make over and over in the summer when fresh tomatoes are so good. Edamame and avocado are healthy foods that always feel like a treat!

I first made this recipe years ago when frozen edamame was only available in the wrapper, at least in the stores I shopped at. But now I can get edamame pounded at a Kroger near me, and they make it so much easier to get this on the table. I recently came across this recipe again in the archives and got inspired to make it again, and I think the new photos really show off the awesomeness of this combo!

If you’ve ever enjoyed edamame as an appetizer at a sushi restaurant, I bet you’ll enjoy it in this salad. And if you’re lucky enough to have garden fresh tomatoes, that will only make your salad better!

What is edamame?

Edamame is the name for unripe soybeans that are shelled from the pod and then eaten, and are a favorite garnish with Asian food. You can probably find peeled edamame, which I highly recommend, and they’re often sold frozen, near frozen vegetables.

Is edamame high in carbs?

Edamame contains some carbohydrates, but is also very high in fiber. One cup of blanched edamame contains about 13.8 carbs, but 8 grams of fiber, and edamame is also high in protein. paying off Edamame nutritional information And you might be surprised.

How to store avocados to keep them fresh for longer:

I used to look longingly at those big bags of avocados at Costco but never bought them because I couldn’t use a lot of avocados before they spoiled. Then I learned that once an avocado has ripened, if you keep it in the fridge, it lasts for days and days without getting any softer. I wish I could remember who told me about this, because a little avocado storage tip has changed my life.

How to make Tomato Salad with Avocado and Edamame:

(This is just a summary of the recipe steps; please scroll down for the full printable recipe. OR if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, you will be taken directly to the full recipe.)

Cut the avocado into cubes and put it in a bowl, then add the fresh lemon juice and stir until the avocado pieces are covered in the lemon.
Drain the thawed edamame in a colander placed in the sink. Dry it with paper towels if necessary.
I took a picture of the edamame in a measuring cup to show you that 12 oz. A bag of frozen blanched edamame makes approximately exactly 2 cups of blanched edamame.
Cut the tomatoes in half so that you have 2 cups of tomatoes.
Slice green onions, if desired.
For an easy dressing, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and ground cumin, Spike seasoningAnd Fiji Sal (The links are affiliate links).
I love this sauce with a lot of lemon in it, but taste it after mixing the sauce and see if you want to add more olive oil.
Mix the tomatoes with the edamame and stir with the sauce. (You may not need all of the marinade.)
Then mix in the avocado.
Serve immediately.
This was surprisingly good when it was in the fridge overnight, although I don’t think it would last more than a day.

Make it a low-carb meal:

I would definitely top this Tomato Avocado Salad with Edamame as a full-on salad for a light lunch, but it would also make a great side dish for something like Grilled fish with lemon and capersAnd Grilled chicken kebab with vegetablesor Marinated grilled steak.
