Ingredients
  

For the Salad Base
  • 500 g Edamame High in protein, cooked and cooled for the best texture.
  • 1 Medium Cucumber Adds a refreshing crunch; choose a firm variety for optimal bite.
  • 3 Small Mangos Brings sweetness and a tropical touch; firm, ripe mangos are ideal.
  • 1 Medium Red Onion Adds a sharp flavor; substitute green onions for a milder taste.
  • 1 19-oz Can Black Beans Rinsed well to enhance protein and fiber content.
  • 350 mL Can Corn Sweet and colorful; fresh corn can be a delightful swap.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Basil Offers a fragrant herbal note; fresh preferred over dried.
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Adds a pungent kick; adjust quantity for a milder taste.
For the Dressing
  • 1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar Provides acidity; apple cider vinegar works as a substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil Adds richness; can be lightened or omitted if desired.
  • ½ tsp Sea Salt Enhances flavor; adjust based on personal dietary needs.
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper Provides mild heat; freshly cracked for the best flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the edamame according to package instructions, usually boiling them for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Chop the cucumber into bite-sized pieces, peel and dice the mangos, and finely chop the red onion. Combine in a large mixing bowl with black beans and corn.
  3. Chop the fresh basil and mince the garlic. Add them to the bowl with the other vegetables.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon or lime juice until emulsified.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well coated.
  6. Slice the avocado and arrange it on top of the salad just before serving.
