Asian Edamame Peanut Crunch Salad

Step 1

Rinse the quinoa and add to a pot with 1 cup of water. Cook according to these instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add the edamame to a bowl with 1/2 cup of water and cover. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or add to a steamer basket and steam on the stove.

Step 3

While those are cooking, prepare the other veggies. Shred the cabbage (I like to use a mandoline), finely chop the kale, grate the carrot and chop the scallions and cilantro.

Step 4

When the edamame and quinoa are done, let cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add all ingredients for the dressing into a shaker bottle, mason jar, or just a bowl and whisk together until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Step 6

Add the quinoa, edamame and all veggies to a large mixing bowl.

Step 7

Pour the dressing on top and mix until well combined.

Step 8

Top with chopped roasted cashews and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
