Step by Step Method
Step 1
To a large mixing bowl add the edamame, white beans, cucumbers, jalapeño, scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds.
Step 2
Place the diced shallot in a bowl with cold water and soak for 5 minutes. Drain, rinse and pat dry. Then add to a jar with a generous pinch of salt, ginger, garlic, lemon zest and juice, vinegar and mustard and allow to marinate for 5 minutes. Add in the maple syrup and oil, then seal the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing has emulsified. Taste and adjust the flavors as needed.
Step 3
Pour the dressing over the bean mix and toss to combine.
Step 4
Store the bean mix in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
Step 5
To make lettuce cups, lay a few leaves of butter lettuce on a plate and stir in the avocado into the bean salad.
Step 6
Add a spoon of rice to the center of each leaf and then top with 1-2 spoons of the bean salad. Drizzle some dressing on top.
Step 7
Eat.
