My sweet niece Emma hugs me tightly every time I bring this salad to a family gathering. It may as well have alcohol in it because it makes everyone giddy and excited (no lie. and no alcohol.).

RECIPE NOTES: EDAMAME SALAD

• This salad tastes best when made the day before! Let it marinate in the fridge overnight for extra flavor a compliments from guests.

• If you happen to have bell peppers or red onions hanging out in your kitchen, feel free to add them to the mix!

• Replace the olive oil with coconut or sesame oil for a different flavor.
