This Edamame Noodle Salad is so bright and fresh tasting. The dressing is flavored from a combination of fresh tangelo juice and the zest of a whole tangelo (you can use a tangerine or half of an orange) plus soy sauce.
Making this salad is astonishingly simple, and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of days. I used angel hair pasta for the noodles, but you can use any noodles that you prefer.
Where I live, I can easily find fresh cooked edamame in my local grocery store. If fresh is not readily available, US readers can usually find it frozen at Costco or Trader Joe's.

DeleteWhat a great salad that's full of great color and flavor. The dressing sounds delicious, I bet it would be good on many other foods as well.
ReplyDeleteIt lasts a few days too, which is so nice.
DeleteBeautiful dish Karen! We also just learned that there's a fruit called tangelo:) We 'll go ahead and use orange as we don't have 'em here, perhaps adding a few drops of clementine for the aroma.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
There you go!
