Edamame Noodle Salad

This Edamame Noodle Salad is so bright and fresh tasting. The dressing is flavored from a combination of fresh orange or tangerine juice along with the zest of a whole orange and soy sauce.

Making this salad is astonishingly simple, and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of days. The noodles absorb the delicious flavors of the dressing over time. 

The dressing is super light. The only fat in the dressing is a teaspoon of sesame oil! It's totally delicious.

This combination of noodles, tomatoes, and edamame is a snap to pull together. I used angel hair pasta, which I cooked al dente. 

For the edamame, I used edamame from the frozen veggie section of my grocery store, which I cooked according to the package directions. If your store carries fresh edamame, just make sure that it's cooked before tossing it into this salad. 

For the citrus in the dressing, you can use oranges, tangelos, tangerines, or any other orange-y citrus. I actually used a tangelo from our backyard tree. While this year the the tree was not as prolific as it usually is, the fruit it did yeild was amazingly flavorful.

The edamame, tomatoes, noodles, and citrus dressing are so delicious together. 


What are edamame?


Edamame are whole immature soy beans. The first time I tried them was as a sushi restaurant as an appetizer. You can find them in their pods (which you don't eat). The ones I bought were already shelled. 

They are high in protein, Vitamin K, folate, manganese, and other nutrients.

This is an update of a post from April, 2014. I've remade the salad, taken new photos, and added a printable recipe card. 

This time I decided to used multicolored  grape tomatoes to add even more colors to the salad. I also substitued juice from a tangelo from our tree for the orange juice in the dressing. Tangerine juice would work beautifully too. 

This salad was just as delicious as I remembered.

P.S. If you like noodle salads with Asian flavors, be sure to try my Chinese egg noodle salad with pork too.

  3. Beautiful dish Karen! We also just learned that there's a fruit called tangelo:) We 'll go ahead and use orange as we don't have 'em here, perhaps adding a few drops of clementine for the aroma.
    Thank you for sharing!
