Edamame, Tomato and Feta Salad with Fresh Basil

Edamame, Tomato and Feta Salad with Fresh Basil

The Labor Day Weekend is in full force and that means picnics and parties for many of us!!  I am always looking for sneaky ways to show people what clean food tastes like without it looking like a diet dish!!!  My Coach shared this recipe and I just couldn't wait to try it!  I had plenty of fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden so I didn't even have to buy them at the grocery store!!!

Amazingly good salad!
This salad was bursting with flavor and it was gorgeous!!!

Ingredients:
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, or to taste
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 3/4 tsp table salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 pound edamame (shelled) cooked
  • 10 medium plum tomatoes seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup basil, fresh, cut into ribbons
  • 1 small uncooked red onion finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions:
To make the dressing, in a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, water, garlic, salt, and pepper, set aside.
In a large serving bowl, combine edamame, tomatoes, basil and onion; toss with dressing and sprinkle with cheese.  Yields about 1 cup per serving.

By his estimate, “a big percentage of Americans drink at least the sugar equivalent of my ten Cokes.” Though his numbers are probably slightly exaggerated, it is worth noting that soft drinks  are  the number one source of added calories in Americans’ diets   and, drinking your calories has been linked to an increase in appetite. As expected, Prior experienced some drastic changes during his month-long expe...
