Step 1

In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the frozen edamame and cook for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Drain and let cool.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and salt to create the dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice as desired.

Step 7

Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
