  • 1 cup shelled edamame (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 ripe avocado (diced)
  • 1 English cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced or diced)
  • 3 spring onions (thinly sliced – white + green parts)
  • 1/2 cup fresh coriander (cilantro) (chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill (roughly chopped)
  • 1/4 cup crushed peanuts
  • Optional: extra chili flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha for more heat
