Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
- ¼ cup red-wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 8 cups chopped romaine (about 2 romaine hearts)
- 16 ounces frozen shelled edamame (about 3 cups), thawed
- 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
- ½ cucumber, sliced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup slivered fresh basil
- ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
- ¼ cup slivered red onion
Preparation
Active Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Whisk vinegar, oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add romaine, edamame, tomatoes, cucumber, feta, basil, olives and onion; toss to coat. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Make ahead and layer your ingredients to keep the romaine from getting soggy, than toss before eating. Mason jars make a great container for this if you’re a meal prepper. Pour in the dressing first, then olives, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, edamame, cheese, then the romaine! Shake well, or toss the salad together in bowl.
- Looking for even more protein? Add 3 ounces of sliced grilled chicken.
