A hearty bean and edamame salad tossed with cabbage, carrots, and green onions, all coated in a tangy, nutty miso sesame dressing. Fresh, crunchy, and satisfying enough for a main or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Roasted peanuts or almonds, chopped (optional)
  • Miso Sesame Dressing: 3 tbsp white or chickpea miso, 2 tbsp tamari, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar), 1 tsp chili crisp or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine chickpeas, edamame, cabbage, carrots, and green onions in a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk miso, tamari, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, lime juice, sesame oil, sweetener, and chili crisp until smooth.
  3. Pour dressing over salad and toss until well coated.
  4. Top with chopped peanuts or almonds if desired.
  5. Serve immediately, or chill 15–20 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

  • Add quinoa or brown rice for extra bulk.
  • Swap chickpeas with black beans, kidney beans, or lentils.
  • Toss in spinach, kale, or mixed greens for more veggies.
  • Add diced mango or orange segments for a fruity twist.
  • Best served cold; toss before serving if stored.
