You are very talented in the kitchen missy! This looks amazing too! You inspire me to get my butt in the kitchen :)
Thanks Cassie !! Glad my cooking adventures have inspired at least one person ;D
WOW!! I love, love, love edamame, in anything! But add in those gorgeous berries - even better! I'm in the Seattle area and the berries should be in high gear in a couple months. CAN. NOT. WAIT!!
@ Linda: I'm looking forward to berry season also !
beautiful salad! We would love it if you submitted it to our health food photo site: www.healthfreakfood.com
@ Jennifer & Jaclyn: Thank you & I am definitely interested in posting!
I love the colours! Cooking with colour is so much fun. Just wondering, do you use fresh or frozen edamame? The frozen ones I get always look so sad and small after they have been shelled. Not sure if it's just because they're frozen or if I'm buying from the wrong supplier.
@ bunnyeatsdesign: I agree! I learned from Giada de Laurentes that you eat with your eyes first... and when I can I try and use brightly colored ingredients. That way, you know you're also getting a wider variety of nutrients. Taste the rainbow..? I kid. In answer to your question, I use the already shelled frozen edamame. I've tried many brands and I find that they're all about the same as long as they have already been shelled.
I love both edamame and strawberries, but have never thought to combine them - great idea!
@ Lauren: I really wanted this salad to be packed with nutrients (brightly colored produce) and be tasty... and I think it delivers. For a real kick, I like to add a whole jalapeno with it's seeds instead of just half.
Ooh, this one looks delicious, too, Mary. I never would have thought to put edamame in salad before, but I made an outstanding shrimp salad with edamame this spring and now I am sold! We actually even grew some edamame this year in the garden. Just finished up a bowlful :) I'll bet it's great with strawberries.
@ Lynn: The sweetness of the strawberries and honey with a little heat from the jalapeno really take the flavors over the top in this salad.
YUM, edamame + shrimp sounds wonderful! Did you write a blog post on it? I would love to hear what was in it.
Mary, here's the link to the shrimp edamame salad post that I wrote: http://queenofthecastlerecipes.blogspot.com/2011/04/citrus-shrimp-salad.html
It will take you to a nutrition newsletter link; the salad is the third recipe on there. It is really super.
And thanks again for your great pasta salad recipe, as well as all the other delicious things you offer at your site. Yum, yum, yum :)
@ Lynn: Thanks for the link! That salad sounds right up my alley. I love shrimp, edamame AND citrus! Again, you're SO welcome for the pasta salad recipe :)
The Edamame salad with strawberries and basil is delicious!! My boyfriend even liked it! On another note, my step father was a critic so I added shelled sunflower seeds to the recipe and he was taken with it as well. GREAT RECIPE!!
@ anon: I'm so glad you and your family liked it! Sunflower seeds... may have to try that next time. Sounds pretty tasty to me.
