Awesome way to eat your beans!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Terrific recipe! Has been a HUGE hit at my place! Recommended especially if you love green beans and black beans; the edamame... adds a wonderful 3rd bean to the mix! You can even cut back on the amount of dressing (and/or use fewer beans) and it still works well; the current dressing amounts are more like a marinade. I would also recommend placing it in the refrigerator for an hour or so before serving. I don't find that it works as well as a leftover though; the black beans especially tend to get too soft. But if you do have it as a leftover, I prefer heating it in the microwave until just warmed (not hot) rather than eating it cold.Read more

Didn't work for my kids or husband!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I tried this recipe in an effort to get my kids AND HUSBAND to eat more vegatables. Well, the effort was completely wasted!... The kids hated it and my husband, being the big baby he is about vegatables, wouldn't even try it. I thought it was okay, but didn't like the edamame. Sorry.Read more

Great salad to take to a party!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a memorial day party and it was very well recieved. It went over quite well even with renoun junk food... junkies! I, personally, would have cooked the green beans a little bit longer, but it was still really delicious. i always like to be the one to bring something different and slightly exotic to parties, this was a great choice! The dressing is really unique and tasty!Read more

Lots of flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a huge hit at my son's birthday party (well with the adults). I love when I find the Edamame already shelled. I... always change something about recipes, but this time I only just added some toaster sesame seeds at the end for presentation. Read more
