Time to Prepare: 30 minutes (plus pickling time)
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup spicy mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
If using frozen edamame, cook according to package instructions. If using fresh edamame, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the edamame for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
To pickle the red onions, combine the vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the sliced red onions. Let the onions sit in the vinegar mixture for at least 15 minutes, or up to several hours.
In a small bowl, mix together the spicy mustard and mayonnaise to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked edamame with the spicy mustard dressing until well coated.
Top the edamame with the pickled red onions.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer.
