Ingredients

1 large Poblano pepper

2 cups fresh corn kernels

2 cups frozen edamame beans, thawed

2 cups chopped spinach

1 ½ cups chopped plum tomatoes

½ cup julienne-cut peeled jicama

¼ cup chopped red onions

Dressing:

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

½ teaspoon grated ginger

Preparation

Place pepper on a foil-lined baking sheet; broil 10 minutes or until blackened, turning occasionally. Place in a heavy duty plastic zip top bag; seal, let stand 15 minutes. Peel and cut in half lengthwise. Discard seeds and chop.

Meanwhile, place corn kernels and edamame on baking sheet. Roast in 400 degree oven 5 minutes until slightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

In a large salad bowl, combine roasted peppers, corn, edamame, chopped spinach, tomatoes, jicama, and onions.

In small bowl, combine sugar and remaining 5 dressing ingredients. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat. Cover and chill.
