Spicy Cucumber & Edamame Salad — A Fresh, Flavor-Packed Meal Prep Side
Sometimes, you just need to eat an entire cucumber (or two). Made with simple ingredients like fresh cucumber and edamame, it’s crunchy, refreshing, and brings just the right amount of heat to keep things interesting. The cucumbers bring the crunch, the edamame adds a hearty bite, and a spicy dressing ties it all together with a kick that keeps you coming back for more. I love making a big batch to keep in the fridge for the week—it’s an easy side to grab with lunch or dinner. And if I want something to add that is a little more filling, I’ll top it with a hard-boiled egg.
