I love the challenge of going into my pantry and seeing what I can come up with, without going to the grocery store. Maybe it's from watching too many cooking competitions that involve using a limited amount of grocery items.

This flavorful Edamame Potato Salad is the latest result of seeing what I can come up with.

I always have miso paste and tahini in my fridge so that I can whip up a savory or sweet tahini dressing. They give this salad a savory touch to compliment the sweet flavors of apple juice and maple syrup in the dressing.

I've also used edamame in Edamame Avocado Hummus and Edamame Quinoa Buddha Bowl.

After making this recipe I was inspired to make a No-Mayo Potato Salad with Miso. Other recipes you might like are my Vegan Mashed Potato Fritters recipe and my Vegan Tater Tots recipe.

❤️ Why You'll Love It

It has a balance of flavors.
It's a healthy side dish or meal.
It's perfect for a get-together because you can make it ahead of time.

What Is Edamame?

Edamame beans are young green soybeans. They're soft and edible, unlike mature soybeans which need to be processed before consuming.

They come in fibrous pods, which are tough and inedible.

🧾 Ingredients

Miso paste: I used white miso paste because it is mild and gluten-free. You could any miso paste, keeping in mind the other varieties have a stronger flavor.
Tahini: Adds a nutty flavor.
Apple juice: Adds sweetness.
Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use brown rice syrup, agave syrup, or your favorite sweetener.
Edamame: I used frozen edamame. You could also use canned edamame.
Red potato: You could also use Yukon Gold potatoes or another variety.
Yellow and red bell peppers: Adds sweetness.
Carrot: Adds sweetness.
Green onion: I used green onion. You could also use red onion.
Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.

💭 Tips

Chop vegetables about the same size for uniformity.
Make sure to add quartered potatoes to cold water when boiling. This ensures that they cook evenly.
Also, make sure to salt the water the potatoes are boiling in.
Buy shelled edamame to make things easier. Otherwise, you'll have to squeeze each bean out of the pods yourself.
