Edamame and sugar snap salad

Serves: 4
Course: Main Course
Cooking Time: 0 hr 30 mins
Ingredients
  • Serves 4
  • 100g edamame beans
  • 1 pack sugar snap peas
  • 50g baby spinach
  • 1 tbsp miso – one of the milder, white varieties
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 knob ginger (20g), grated
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Blanch the edamame beans and sugar snaps in boiling water for 20-30 seconds before lightly refreshing under cold water. I tend to serve this warmish, so I don’t really drown it in icy water. Just give it a cursory shower so it stops the vegetables overcooking. Make the dressing by lightly whisking together all the ingredients. Toss together the beans, peas and spinach – and a little seaweed too if you like; add the dressing and stir well to coat the salad before serving with the chicken.
