Edamame Salad ~

INGREDIENTS:

1-1/2 cups cooked shelled edamame beans
  (about 20 ounces of pods)
3 large carrots, coarsely grated
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
  Salt and pepper to taste.

TO PREPARE:

Toss the edamame beans, carrots, green onions and cilantro in a bowl.  Whisk the vinegar, lemon juice, oil and garlic in a small bowl.  Add the vinaigrette to the bean mixture and toss to coat.  Season with salt and pepper.

Chill, covered, until serving time.  You may prepare up to 3 hours in advance and store, covered, in the refrigerator.

NOTE: Edamane, the Japanese name for fresh whole soybeans,
       is a trendy snack with major nutritional
       credentials.  Look for the pods in the produce
       section or frozen in Asian markets, health food
       stores, or in any large grocery store.
