The salmon salad with edamame, walnuts, and Parmesan is a highly protein-rich dish, suitable for all ages.
Pleasantly fresh and crunchy to the right point, with the savoriness of Parmesan flakes and the smokiness of the salmon wrapping it all.
But let’s get to know edamame better.
They are soybeans that should not be confused with snow peas or snap peas, where both the pod and beans are edible, because with edamame, only the beans are eaten.
Soybeans or edamame have many benefits: vitamin C and manganese boost the body’s antioxidant defenses, potassium protects cardiovascular health, calcium and phosphorus benefit bones and teeth, and iron is necessary for hemoglobin production.
Moreover, edamame help improve diet by providing fiber.
They have a sweetish flavor and can be used boiled, in soups, or pureed as a side dish for meat or fish.
This dish can be served as a main course or appetizer.
