A delightfully fresh green salad with Edamame Beans, Snap Peas, Parmesan and lots of creamy green herb dressing.
This simple green salad is the perfect side dish for a barbeque or braai. The creamy green dressing is healthy and delicious but if you don’t have time or energy to make the dressing then you can buy a basil pesto mayonnaise if you like.
I recommend eating each mouthful with a little shaved parmesan! Oh yes! I also love using fresh lemons for the lemon juice!
Guys, a handful of walnuts scattered over this salad wouldn’t hurt either!
Just before serving, drizzle half the dressing over the salad and place the other half in a bowl in case people want to add more.

Delightfully fresh green salad with Edamame beans, Snap peas, Parmesan and lots of creamy green herb dressing.
Ingredients
Salad:
- 100g leafy greens (3 cups loosely packed) – baby spinach, rocket and watercress
- 1 cup shelled Edamame Beans
- 1 cup green snap peas
- 75g Parmesan, shaved
- Cracked Black Pepper
Dressing:
- 1 avocado
- ½ cup plain Greek yoghurt (full cream)
- ½ cup fresh parsley
- ¼ cup chives/mint/coriander
- 1 modest garlic clove
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the salad greens into a large salad bowl or platter, leave a little parmesan, a few edamame beans and snap peas aside – we will use them as garnishes once we’ve added the dressing.
- Place all the dressing ingredients into a food blender and mix until you have a lovely creamy green dressing – a minute or so. Taste and add a little more salt and pepper if needed.
- Just before serving, drizzle half the dressing over the salad and place the other half in a bowl in case people want to add more.
- Garnish with the parmesan you set aside as well as the edamame beans and snap peas. Crack a little black pepper over as well – it looks pretty. Tadaa! Enjoy.
