Defrost Shelled Frozen Edamame For Arugula Tomato Salad
Grab frozen shelled edamame the next time you're at the grocery store. It's in the freezer vegetable section.
Frozen edamame is versatile like frozen peas and corn. It lasts a long time in the freezer, defrosts quick, and is a fast protein to add to a salad.
Arugula Tomato Edamame Salad Dressing
Most salad dressings are made by whisking oil slowly into other ingredients. Sometimes, time is an issue and we want to eat faster.
Instead of whisking the salad dressing, toss the mustard, toasted sesame oil, and ginger vinaigrette ingredients into a mason jar. Shake vigorously. BOOM - arugula, tomato, edamame salad dressing is DONE.
