Grapefruit, Edamame and Arugula Salad

Ready in 20 minutes, this colourful arugula salad with ruby red grapefruit, edamame (green soya beans), avocadao, Prosciutto and toasted pecans is all you need to be eating a healthy, nourishing salad for dinner tonight. Edamame are soya beans that are harvested and picked when the fuzzy pods are tender and green. They are naturally gluten-free and add a protein boost to your food. If you can't find shelled edamame beans, don't worry— use broad beans instead.

150 g Organic frozen shelled edamame
750 ml Water
1/2 tsp Salt
100 g Organic arugula
2-3 Ruby red grapefruit, peeled, segmented
1 Avocado, peeled and sliced
5 Prosciutto slices, torn
50 g Pecans, toasted
2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste

Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add in salt and frozen shelled edamame. Cook 3-5 minutes. Drain the edamame and rinse with cold running water. Drain again and set aside.
Place olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Place baby arugula on a serving plate. Arrange grapefruit segments, edamame, avocado and prosciutto on top. Drizzle with dressing and crush the roasted pecans over. Serve immediately.

love avocado, super food
Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews 6/4/23 08:22: Sounds like a really refreshing salad dish, although I might have to substitute the grapefruit for something else, as hubby isn't allowed to eat that.

I have never heard of edamame beans before, so was hoping you would explain what they were. However before I got that far, I did think they looked very much like broad beans, which is what you confirmed, so that's what I would use.

Another new twist on a salad, thanks for sharing :)

Anonymous 6/4/23 13:20: Angie, this salad has all of Dom's favorites. Since he cannot eat grapefruit because of his Lipid medication, I will substitute oranges. Bernadette, New Classic Recipe
Anonymous 6/4/23 13:20: This would be perfect for lunch tomorrow, minus the prosciutto and adding prawns instead. This salad is so fresh, colourful and nourishing. A lovely recipe thanks Angie.
Pauline McNee 6/4/23 13:22: The anonymous comment about subbing in prawns was from me . Pauline, happyretireeskitchen
DEZMOND 6/4/23 13:23: Never had me some edamame but would like to try. We only have one producer who sells them frosen but they are very expensive, like 3 or 4 euro for 350g. Not paying that much for a handful of beans LOL
