Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Edamame: look for shelled edamame in the frozen section, sometimes called mukimame.
- Carrots: for the best flavor, buy whole carrots and grate them at home
- Baby Cucumbers: baby cucumbers tend to have less seeds and thinner peels, so I recommend them in a salad like this to reduce prep time. But feel free to partially peel and seed a regular cucumber instead.
- Red Bell Pepper: I chose a red bell pepper for color, but feel free to choose your favorite color. Green peppers are less sweet and tend to be more crunchy, so they would be perfect in this crunch salad!
- Red Cabbage: I chose red cabbage for color, but green cabbage would be fine too
- Scallions
- Peanuts: you can chop your peanuts or leave them whole
- Peanut Sesame Dressing: For detailed notes, check out my entire post on this healthy peanut dressing.
- Sesame Seeds
How to make Edamame Crunch Salad

FAQ & Expert Tips
You can make this salad using almonds instead of peanuts, and the dressing using almond butter instead of peanut butter.
Skip the nuts entirely. Omit the peanuts from the salad - you could sub with sunflower seeds for more crunch.
Make the dressing using more tahini in place of the peanut butter.
This salad is delicious with freshly cooked edamame that gently warms the other ingredients.
You can also let the edamame cool completely before assembling. And leftovers are delicious cold!
Store any leftovers you have in an air-tight container in the fridge.
This salad will last up to a week in the fridge.
To make your salad last longer, toss all the veggies together but don't add the dressing until ready to serve. Then store the veggies separate from the dressing.
