Edamame Bean Salad

Tuna salad with edamame beans

This recipe for edamame bean is a firm favourite in my household. Packed with polyphenols it’s brilliant for your gut and, of course, it tastes great too. I often use it as a side dish to a main meal, or I just add it as a salad topper. For a special treat serve with seared tuna or salmon. It gets even better after a few days so it’s the perfect fridge stand-by.
