Look for edamame in the freezer section of the grocery store. It may be with regular frozen vegetables or in the organic section of the grocery store. Edamame must be cooked according to the package instructions before adding to a dish.
-
When using apples that are in season, which are usually very juicy, you may want to squeeze some of the juice out of the apples after grating.
-
This salad can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days for kids to enjoy when they come home from school.
-
Try this salad with chopped nuts or canned kidney beans or chickpeas instead of the edamame.
-
Put leftovers away within 2 hours or sooner if they are in a warm location.
