Servings: 5 side servings
- 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame (cooked)
- 1 cup sweet corn (cooked)
- 1 cup grape tomatoes
- 1/4 cup red onion
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro (or fresh parsley or basil)
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice (or more)
- 1/8 tsp. salt
Quarter the tomatoes. Finely dice the red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro (or other herbs of choice).
In a medium mixing bowl, add all ingredients and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top.
Toss well to combine. Taste and add more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or anything else you see fit. (I like it tangy, so I usually add more lemon juice. Salt helps bring out all the flavors as well.)
You can san serve this dish immediately, or refrigerate it first to let the flavors develop.
