This delicious (and I’m talking toooootalllly delicious) Quinoa Edamame Salad was born on one of our summer RV road trips. I put it together for the first time while we were RV-traveling through Montana.

Dan and I absolutely devoured it in its entirety, and it makes a BIG big batch. Packed with freshness, healthy ingredients, texture, color and flavor you can’t even imagine.

It’s also the perfect party food because you can scoop a large spoonful into a plastic cup for each of your guests. Stick a plastic spoon into it and they can eat and mingle!
