Edamame, Avocado and Rocket Salad
Background
This Edamame, Avocado and Rocket Salad is a vibrant, nutrient-packed dish that’s perfect for a light lunch or side dish. Bursting with colour and flavour, it combines creamy avocado, peppery rocket (arugula), and protein-rich edamame beans in a fragrant sesame-soy dressing. Naturally vegan, high in protein, and full of fibre and vitamins, it’s a wholesome salad that’s as satisfying as it is healthy. Ideal for bento boxes, picnics, or a quick plant-based meal.
Ingredients
- 1 large handful of wild rocket (arugula) leaves
- 100g edamame beans (shelled)
- 1 Tbsp Kikkoman soy sauce

- 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (toasted)
- 1 small avocado
- 3 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
Instructions
- Scatter the rocket leaves into a serving bowl.
- Blanch the edamame beans in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Add them to the bowl with the rocket.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and skin, then dice the flesh into bite-sized chunks. Add to the salad.
- Finely slice the spring onions and scatter them over the top.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar and toasted sesame oil.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
