Instructions
- Steam or blanch the edamame beans until tender, then rinse them under cold water. Drain and put them in a bowl.

- Peel the avocado and cut the flesh into small cubes. Add these to the beans.
- Cut the radishes into thin wedges, then add these to the beans.
- Add the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and garlic to the salad. Toss gently. Taste and adjust it to your liking - you can add some lime or lemon juice too.
