Edamame & Cranberry Toss

catht's Note:

Aside from being unbelievably quick and simple, and aside from adding great colour to a holiday table, this dish just tastes really good. I'm never sure how to categorise edamame, which seem like a vegetable but are so high in protein, but I think it makes a great side dish. I like it even better the next day, when the cranberries absorb more liquid and grow quite plump. It's slightly modified from a recipe from Ocean Spray, makers of craisins.
