Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 cup frozen edamame beans only
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves loosely packed
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves loosely packed
  • 1 slice preserved lemon
  • 1 small lemon for zest and juice
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, microwave the edamame until it is thawed, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Roll up both the mint and basil to do a chiffonade cut. Dice up the preserved lemon. If you don't have preserved lemon on hand, no worries! Instead, just double the amount of the fresh lemon measurements that I call for below.
  • Toss the herbs and lemon in with the edamame. Add a generous pour of olive oil and toss to coat. Season the salad with a lot of salt, pepper and the juice from 1/2 of the lemon.
  • Once the salad is well combined, grate the parmesan over the top. Then grate on some lemon zest. Top with more black pepper and serve!
