Edamame and Avocado Salad with Wasabi Mayo Dressing

This edamame and avocado salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for summer. The edamame adds a pop of protein and fiber, while the avocado provides a creamy richness. The red onion, cucumber, radishes, and carrots add a nice crunch and freshness. The wasabi mayo dressing is the perfect finishing touch, adding a bit of heat and spice.

I first had this salad at a Japanese restaurant a few years ago, and I've been making it ever since. It's one of those dishes that's so simple, yet so delicious. The combination of flavors and textures is just perfect. I especially love the wasabi mayo dressing. It's the perfect balance of heat and spice, and it really takes the salad to the next level.
