Healthy salad recipes
When you think of salad recipes, you think they are healthy salad recipes. The truth is that not all salads are healthy salad recipes. The sugar content that might be in that salad is so high that makes for a very high-calorie salad.
When I was researching healthy salad recipes, I came to realize that a grilled chicken salad that I like to get at a national restaurant chain has so many calories in that salad, that I might as well have a cheeseburger at a fast-food place.
Edamame recipes
When I first tried an edamame recipe, it was at an Asian fusion restaurant. They served this edamame side salad that was amazing.
I had never had anything edamame prior. I was very surprised to find how good this edamame salad was. I decided I wanted to research edamame recipes.
Besides an edamame salad, edamame recipes can be anything from just simple saute edamame to even an edamame soup. Edamame is very versitle.
Edamame protein
One benefit of edamame is protein! Yes, edamame protein is great when you are on a weight loss journey. The edamame protein is about 17 grams for every cup of cooked edamame.
Which, if you are on a high protein low carb diet, then having edamame protein is something you will want in your diet. So this salad is the winner there for a weight loss journey!
White balsamic vinegar
When I wanted to try and recreate the edamame salad I got from the Asian fusion eatery, I knew the secret to how wonderful that tangy edamame recipe was white balsamic vinegar.
White balsamic vinegar is sweeter than regular balsamic vinegar. Plus I think white balsamic vinegar has more of a refreshing taste to it than dark balsamic vinegar.
To make this edamame salad burst with flavor, the white balsamic vinegar was the key. That balsamic vinegarette used in the salad recipe is what brings that nice tangy taste to this easy salad recipe.
