Frozen Edamame (Young Soy Beans) are available from many supermarket stores these days. Edamame is a great snack, and also a fantastic cooking ingredient. If you have never used Edamame for cooking before, Salad is the easiest option for you to try. I often mix Edamame with Canned Mixed Beans to make a salad. I seasoned this salad only with Salt, Black Pepper and Lemon Juice. I added No Oil, but you get good Oil form Avocado. It’s a healthy salad with loads of different nutrients.
