Instructions
1
|
Cook your quinoa according to package directions. I like to use broth instead of water to give the quinoa extra flavor. Let cool.
2
|
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in the edamame and let simmer for 4 minutes. Drain and let cool (you can also cool them by running them under cold water). I like mine to still have a little warmth to them but cool them entirely for a cold salad.

|
Meanwhile make the dressing by combining all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You can also simply whisk everything together if you first finely mince the garlic and ginger.
4
|
In a large bowl, combine the quinoa, edamame, cabbage, cilantro, green onions, carrot and mint. Toss to combine.

Once ready to enjoy (I suggest saving the sauce until you’re ready to eat the salad), toss on the peanut dressing and top with chopped cashews or peanuts. ENJOY!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Toast Your Quinoa First 🌾Dry-toast the quinoa in a pan for 2-3 minutes before cooking to enhance its nutty flavor and prevent a mushy texture that can oversaturate your salad.
- Balance Your Dressing 🥣Whisk your peanut butter dressing separately and adjust consistency with milk or water until it coats the back of a spoon—this ensures it clings to ingredients rather than pooling at the bottom.
- Thaw Edamame Properly 🧊Thaw frozen edamame at room temperature for 15 minutes rather than using hot water, which can make them mushy and cause nutrient loss while maintaining their firm bite.
- Macerate Your Vegetables 🥬Toss shredded carrots and cabbage with a pinch of salt and lime juice 10 minutes before assembly to soften them slightly and intensify their flavors through osmosis.
- Reserve Fresh Herbs for Finish ✨Add mint and cilantro just before serving to preserve their vibrant color and delicate flavors, which can fade or become bruised if mixed into the warm dressing too early.
