Quinoa and Edamame Salad

This is a delicious salad that can be served as a side dish or a main dish. I got it from my friend Kristin!

2 cups uncooked quinoa

1/2 bag shelled edamame

1/2 cup parsley

1/2 cup green onions

1/2 cup finely chopped carrots

1/2 cup finely chopped celery

1/2 cup finely chopped red peppers

Dressing

1/2 cup olive oil

juice from one lemon

1 tablespoon mustard

cook and cool quinoa and edamame. according to the directions on packages.  When they are cooled, add parsley, green onions, carrots, celery, and red peppers. 

Mix olive oil, lemon juice, and mustard together until they are emulsified. 

Stir in dressing and serve. 

This is great for left-overs or to take to a bbq. It's super healthy, hearty, and packed with protein. 

Thanks Kristin!!!!
