Spiralised Courgette & Edamame Salad: A Fresh and Flavourful Summer Dish
This Spiralised Courgette & Edamame Salad offers a refreshing Asian-inspired twist, combining crisp courgette noodles with tender edamame beans. Tossed in a tangy dressing featuring sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, and tamari, and garnished with fresh herbs and crunchy peanuts, this vibrant dish is both light and satisfying.
Perfect as a quick lunch or a side, it’s a delightful way to enjoy fresh, plant-based ingredients. Edamame soybeans are rich in plant-based protein and fibre, adding a satisfying bite and a boost of nutrition.
Spiralising courgettes is a simple way to create light, nutritious vegetable noodles, often used as a low-carb alternative to pasta. You can use a spiraliser or julienne peeler to cut courgettes into thin, noodle-like strands. They can be eaten raw in salads or lightly cooked in stir-fries and pasta dishes. Courgette noodles, also called “zoodles,” are a great way to add more vegetables to your diet while keeping meals fresh and flavourful.
