This edamame salad makes for the most amazing summer appetizer. I like to serve the salad on a Topseedz cracker with a piece of seaweed – this flavorful combination packs just the right punch! It is healthy, full of protein and fiber, and it can even be used for meal prep as it won’t get soggy.
Edamame is one of my all-time favorite sources of plant-based protein for several reasons. Not only is it rich in vitamins and minerals, but a cup of edamame will give you almost 19g of protein. It is so easy to add edamame to a salad or bowl like this one, and of course, it tastes great!
