My wife has really exposed me to edamame. When, the kids were younger, she always served them edamame has a healthy side and they liked it. I rarely indulged myself and I don’t know why. Fast forward a few years and my wife has me looking for and suggesting edamame recipes she finds. This Edamame Avocado Salad was part of a meal I/we made for my wife and daughter while she was still home.
Edamame Avocado Salad
The other ingredient that my wife loves, and me too, are avocados. We have avocados at almost every meal and I am not exaggerating. Avocados are good for you, add good flavor and great texture to dishes. Add in corn and peppers and you get good crunch and a good bite to the dish. All the dish needs to complete it is a squeeze of fresh lime. You can certainly use a lemon too. Super fresh, super easy, super good for you.
It is summertime and this Edamame avocado salad is perfect anytime. Pull it out for a picnic or to go over to friend’s houses. I am sure you will impress your friends with this recipe. If you have more time, grill the corn.
I am writing this post after our return from San Francisco. My wife and I just dropped off our youngest son for his summer internship. The great thing about dropping him off is our brother and sister-in-law live in San Francisco. So this was a trip more than it was helping our son get settled. We had great food, great wine but most of all, great company. We also got to spend some quality time with our nieces and a fly by with our nephew. We will take what we can get as they all proceed on their journeys to independence.

I love edamame, we often have them steamed with a sprinkle of soy 🙂
This salad looks delish! Would be perfect in tacos!
I do not eat them often enough. My wife and kids love them.
I also do not indulge much in edamame but know that I should. I like it but do not often look for more ways to incorporate it into our meals. This salad, however, looks like a healthy, refreshing way to add more edamame into our dinner rotations!
You said it 100% the way I need to work with edamame more too.
I really need to try edamame! I love that you’ve combined it with avocado, something that I am totally addicted to! Looks delish.
I love avocados with just about everything. They add a nice creaminess to this dish.
I thought that this looked like my perfect salad – then you mentioned grilling the corn first – even better! I adore this!
Kate, what is better than perfect? Thx for the nice comment.
What a great salad! perfect for picnics, or to bring to BBQs or pot lucks! Plus you could really make it ahead and save it for weekday lunches!
I like your idea of making it ahead. you just add in the avocado when ready to serve.
I bet this salad is just perfect for summer, looks delicious!
It is.
Dear Peter, what a wonderful salad. I used to eat edamame all the time! Thank you for reminding how wonderful it is, especially in salads. Sounds great mixed with avocado. Pinning for later. Take care, Catherine
