Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Frozen edamame (shelled)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 stalks Green onion, sliced thin
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Black sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the frozen edamame. Cook for 3-4 minutes, drain, and set aside to cool.

Step 2

If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen, thaw completely. Add corn kernels to a skillet over medium heat and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled edamame, sautéed corn, diced red bell pepper, diced zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and sliced green onions.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey (or maple syrup), and minced garlic until well combined. This is your sesame ginger vinaigrette.

Step 5

Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
