My New Fave: Edamame Succotash
I grabbed this on a whim yesterday at Bread & Company, and boy was I surprised. This cold salad is a perfect afternoon snack. B&C has it in a white wine vinaigrette, so I've included that recipe too. There are several variations of the succotash online, I like it with peppers instead of tomatoes. Add chicken for a high protein meal.
Edamame Succotash
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 1 bag (1 pound) shelled edamame (soybeans), thawed
- 1 bag (1 pound) frozen corn, thawed, or 3 cups fresh-cut corn kernels (from about 4 ears)
- 2 red peppers, diced (or sliced small)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives or basil
Directions
Heat the oil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the edamame and corn and cook, turning often, until heated through, about 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato, salt and pepper. Let cool and then chill if packing in a lunch box. When ready to serve, stir in the chives or basil.
White Wine Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Directions
- Place the oil, vinegar, garlic, sugar, salt and pepper into a jar with a tight fitting lid. Close the lid, and shake vigorously to blend. Use right away, or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
