Edamame Greek Salad Recipe

Boy do I need this salad! I ran away for the weekend to attend a food photography workshop and spent what seems to be, the whole weekend eating! You know those good intentions of bringing the gym gear, eating salads and walking to and from to get extra fresh air? Those plans turned out to be taking a taxi because of the rain and overall laziness, ordering room service cheesecake and skipping the gym in favor of a king sized bed with tv directly in front.  What a weekend though! I was surrounded by a group of food forward people. “My people” as I like to refer to them as. It’s always a pleasure to be around like minded, generous people who like to explore new food, share their knowledge and collaborate on ideas. Can I just tell you, cashew hollandaise is mind blowing! I’d like to think I won’t resort back to my food ruts. Taco Tuesday, Spaghetti Thursday but in reality, that’s what the kids love so it’s an easy go-to for the dinner table.

We are however, trying to incorporate new food items in our weekly meal and edamame is one of them. If it’s easier you can call them peas. I am not above a tiny bit of trickery when it comes to my kids. Spinach = lettuce, Edamame = peas. I’m hoping they just eventually become as I did. Will eat anything! I was the pickiest eater as a child and now I can’t get enough black olives and other things I wouldn’t have touched. Go figure.
