This is an easy, healthy, and delicious vegetarian salad recipe with edamame, arugula, fresh cherry tomatoes, and pecans with a sesame ginger dressing.
Add some chicken, shrimp, or tofu to this arugula and edamame salad and turn it into a fast main meal.
Grab some frozen shelled edamame the next time you're at the grocery store. Frozen edamame is so versatile, like frozen peas and corn. It lasts a long time, defrosts quick, and is a fast protein to get on the table.
Most salad dressings are made by whisking in the oil slowly. Sometimes, time is an issue and we want to eat faster. Toss the mustard, sesame oil, and ginger vinaigrette ingredients into a mason jar and shake vigorously. Done.
