Day 12: Edamame Salad...

This is a great salad for many reasons. First it’s tasty, and second, it’s handy. It can be made quickly and refrigerated until company comes over, so that you aren’t rushing to prepare everything at the last minute.

Another reason I like this dish is, for those trying to lose weight, it’s healthy. Not only is it full of vegetables (which shouldn’t deter you, because it really is that tasty, and doesn’t leave you with that empty, dissatisfied feeling you carnivores out there might expect), but it is a low carb option best suited for dinner. You really don’t need carb intake in the evening, because all you’re going to do is go to bed. Carbs is human rocket fuel, so unless you plan on exercising, save the carbs for lunch.

Serve as is, it’s pretty complete for dinner, or serve with chinese dumplings.
