  2. Steam the yams and let them cool.

  5. Blanch the edamame and let it cool.
  6. Blanch the broccoli and let it cool.
  7. Peel and slice or spiralize the watermelon radish.
  8. Shave the cabbage thin, using a mandoline or a knife, and toss it in a touch of lemon juice.

To assemble:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the prepared ingredients.
  2. Pour the Tamarind Date Dressing over the salad and toss everything together.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
