Rice Recipe: Rice and Edamame Salad

Cooking Instructions

This light, colorful and refreshing salad is a great lunch box item or a perfect side dish for grilled fish or chicken.

Flavors deepen over night, which offers a wonderful make-ahead option.

In a large bowl, toss the rice with the edamame, bean sprouts, red pepper, corn and green onion.

In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce with vinegar, lime juice, sesame oil, sugar, wasabi paste and ginger, then gradually whisk in the canola oil.

Toss the salad with the soy dressing. Reserve for up to 1 day in the refrigerator.

Tip: Wasabi paste is found in the fresh sushi section at most supermarkets.
