I don’t care for pre-prepared dishes. They rarely taste like much more than the packaging they come in. Awhile ago I did buy a premade edamame salad and it was decent enough, but I knew it would be better made at home. And I was right : )
I was trying to decide what to put in the dressing, then I remembered I had a jar of dressing in the fridge leftover from this salad and thought I’d give it a try. It was a perfect fit and I think this salad is just as good after it sits for a bit as well, as the dressing marries with the edamame and beans for a while.
EDAMAME SALAD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES
