Background

This Edamame and Sweet Potato Salad is a vegan, healthy and satisfying salad. It combines the nutty taste of edamame with the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes, all brought together by a savoury Japanese dressing made with soy sauce, miso and sesame oil. This salad is not only nutritious and high in plant-based protein, but it’s also incredibly versatile. You can serve it as a side dish, pack it in a Bento box, or enjoy it as a light meal on its own, served with rice.
You can use fresh or frozen edamame, and it’s a great way to use up leftover roasted sweet potatoes. If you don’t have any leftovers, just roast or air-fry some sweet potato wedges until tender.
