Edamame Avo & Corn {Summer} Salad

July 13, 2012 by Hillary 3 Comments

Good morning, happy Friday!

Hope ya’ll have had a good week. Has anyone tried the 20-minute Tabata Jump Rope Workout!? I did it on Workout Wednesday — hurts so good!

About this recipe… it’s almost a no-cook, cool, refreshing summer salad, of sorts, that you can make in your bikini after reading poolside. #lifeistough

I came up with this recipe as I was strolling the grocery stores aisles, making my weekly tour around Trader Joe’s (a.k.a. momentarily escaping the 105F degree sauna outside the store’s sliding doors).

I’m having a fling with fresh, raw corn this summer, so that, along with the bag of edamame I’ve been abandoning in my freezer, is where this recipe got its beginning.

Add avocado (because you usually always should), half of a jalapeño leftover from making mango salsa, and the juice from one large lime for that summer citrus pucker.

Edamame Avocado & Corn Summer Salad

  • 12 oz. shelled, frozen edamame
  • 2 ears fresh, raw corn – cut from cob
  • 1 large avocado – cut into 1/2 in. pieces
  • 1/2 jalapeño – finely minced
  • 1 large lime – juiced
  • 1 1/2t olive oil
  • 1/2t sea salt
  • fresh black pepper

Prepare edamame according to package directions (cook in boiling water for approximately 5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.

In a large bowl, combine edamame, corn, avocado and jalapeno.

Drizzle with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, the juice of one large lime, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Let chill for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

Possible additions: chopped garlic, fresh cilantro, cherry tomatoes…

 

I served it up over cooled quinoa for a light dinner after a 2,000 yd. evening pool workout.

Dessert: a few bursting handfuls of organic blueberries.

Happy Summer!!

Hill

    This might sound silly… I’ve NEVER had raw corn before… I didn’t even know you could eat it raw… isn’t it way too hard?

    This makes me hungry and I’ve already eaten tonight! I’ll have to try it once I’ve settled in to my new place and buying groceries again.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods of time being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the parasympathetic nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
