Step 1

If you are using frozen edamame beans, defrost them by putting them in a strainer and running under cold water. You can set the strainer in a large bowl and allow the water to fill up and cover the beans if you like. Just let them rinse or soak until they're no longer icy. Drain well and then dry gently on a clean kitchen towel. Put them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Add the rest of the slaw ingredients to the bowl and toss to combine.

Step 3

Whisk together the dressing ingredients and feel free to adjust any of them to your taste, this is just a starting point.

Step 4

Toss everything well with enough dressing to moisten the whole salad without drowning it. Serve with a final shower of sesame seeds.

Step 5

Salad will keep fresh in an airtight container for several days to a week. If planning on making it ahead of time, you might want to omit the dressing and add it when ready to serve.
