Description
A bright, salty, and sweet salsa made with frozen edamame and fresh fruit. This no-cook recipe is perfect for boat trips, picnics, and healthy snacking, offering a protein-packed alternative to traditional dips.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340g) frozen shelled edamame
- 1 large ripe mango, diced
- Juice of 2 fresh limes
- 1/2 medium red onion, finely minced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp chili powder or Tajín
- 1 ripe avocado, diced (optional)
Instructions
- Thaw frozen edamame by running under warm water for 30 seconds if clumped. Drain well and pat dry with a paper towel to prevent watery salsa.
- Finely mince the red onion and jalapeño. Place them in a medium mixing bowl.
- Peel and dice the mango into small, uniform cubes (about the size of the edamame). Add to the bowl.
- Chop the cilantro and add to the bowl. If using avocado, dice it and fold it in gently.
- Add the dried edamame to the bowl. Squeeze fresh lime juice over everything.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and chili powder (or Tajín). Toss gently to combine all ingredients.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the salsa to chill.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime if needed before serving.
Notes
[‘Pat edamame dry thoroughly after thawing to avoid a soggy texture.’, ‘Fresh lime juice is essential; bottled juice lacks the necessary brightness.’, ‘Chill the salsa thoroughly as cold temperatures enhance the crispness of the fruit and onion.’, ‘Do not freeze this salsa as the fruit will become mushy upon thawing.’, ‘Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.’]
