    I have been so into no lettuce salads lately. Since there is no lettuce, no lettuce salads with not get soggy or slimy when mixed with dressing. I am all about convenience and love being able to mix my salad up together and forget about it. This Edamame Crunch Salad (vegan + high protein) is my latest no lettuce salad recipe and it is so good.

    This salad is a no lettuce salad - which is great because it will not get soggy. Cashews provide healthy fats and crunch to this salad. And of course, the edamame provides a ton of protein.

    Let's get into the recipe.

    This edamame crunch salad with cashews is

    • vegan, vegetarian and plant based
    • gluten free and dairy free
    • high in protein

      Super yummy! I used sunflower seeds instead because that’s what I had and it’s probably just as good! I will admit that I used mine more like a salad & ate it with chips ?

      This salad is so quick and delicious! The recipe is great for a hyperfixation meal because I can prep it for 5 days at a time and it stays on point. I have to add that I LOVE your to the point ingredients and directions. It’s very refreshing to not have to scroll through 15 somewhat related paragraphs to get what I came for. Thank you!
