GINGERED EDAMAME

Edamame are quite the star of the legume family. When you consider just a half-cup serving contains 11 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, 2 1/2 grams of heart-healthy fats, along with vitamins c, a, iron and calcium, you wonder, should I be eating these more often? Yes! This recipe could be for a snack time, a side dish, or you could easily add a whole grain (we suggest farro!) and more veggies for a meal.

INGREDIENTS
3 cups steamed edamame
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons soy sauce, low sodium
2 green onions, chopped
1 Tablespoon grated ginger root
2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
Place edamame in a medium size bowl and set aside.
Mix apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, ginger root, orange and lemon juice together. Pour over edamame. Marinate in refrigerator anywhere from 1 hour to a few days. Makes 6 1/2-cup servings or 3 1-cup servings.
