MAKE IT SHINE!

I make this with cooked, shelled edamame (soybeans) that I get at the super Wal-Mart. It's already cooked and just has to be added to the asparagus, not blanched first. I also don't divide the salad. I just put it on a platter as listed in the directions.

A different and refreshing green salad. I blanched the asparagus because it was too fibrous and substituted parmesan for the romano. I also bought precooked fava beans.Reply

Kann, This was such a different tasting salad. We liked it but added more Parmesan, salt and freshly ground pepper. We grow arugula so we're always looking for new recipes for it.Thanks!Reply
