- 2 pimentos peppers, thinly sliced length-ways

Bring a large saucepan half- filled with water, to the boil. Place a colander over the pot to create a steamer and place the edamame beans inside. Cover with a lid and steam for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then remove the beans from their shells.
Layer the salad ingredients on a platter. Toss slightly.
Mix the dressing ingredients in a jar or jug and shake or stir well. Drizzle over the salad just before serving.
