Edamame and Snap Peas with Sesame Ginger Dressing Recipe is well-dressed, full of flavor that is umami inducing. Protein packed edamame and sweet snap peas along with shredded carrot soak up the delicious dressing. This is a really easy side dish.
I made this salad as part of a complete dinner of grilled miso shrimp and toasted coconut rice for dinner last night after getting inspired at my local Japanese market and the fact that the weather is getting warmer and I’m feeling very spring-like. The entire meal was so easy to whip up, it came together in 30 minutes (after marinating the shrimp).
The salad was the first thing on my plate that I devoured and went back for seconds, definitely the star of this show (with the shrimp in a close second).
It must be the combination of the creamy edamame along with the crunch snap peas and carrots balanced with the dressing that I have to say, makes this dish. It is perfectly salty, sweet with a tiny little kick from the chili paste.
Did I mention that it’s also good for you? I’m sure you know that, I mean it is bowl full of colorful good-for-you vegetables (you know, eat the rainbow).
I am going to be enjoying this for my lunch today because the leftovers are amazing. They’ve been bathing in the gorgeous dressing since yesterday, soaking it all in!

Fantastic that you can make this ahead of time. That dressing sounds “to die for”. On my “to do” list for sure. Your marinated shrimp look like perfect outdoor grilling fare. YUM all the way around!
