Did I mention I like salads ?

Yesterday I made a new salad as a side dish to Harry's beer-can chicken.  It was SO GOOD I just had to pass it along.  It's also very nutritious -- high in protein, omega-3, and anti-oxidents yet low in fat.




Edamame Avacado Salad

2 medium-sized avocado, diced into bite-sized pieces
1-1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups shelled, cooked edamame beans
1/4 cup finely diced red onion

To keep your avacodo from browning, keep in a dish of cold water until ready to combine the salad and dressing.

Dressing:  (any vinaigrette will do)
Combine and stir until sugar is dissolved:
     2 Tbsp lime juice
     1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
     1/2 tsp sugar
Slowly add 1 Tbsp Olive oil  and stir until well incorporated.

Toss the vegetable together with dressing.  Chill up to 1 hour before serving if you like a cold salad.

Mmmmm ..... so yummy!
